The apartment is thick with a silence that feels alive, charged and heavy. Bart, who is usually a storm of motion, sits utterly still on the couch, his auburn hair a wild mess and his golden eyes wide with a raw, panicked fear. He watches you gather a pillow and blanket with a methodical calm that feels like a verdict. His expression fractures, desperation clawing past his pride. 'W-where are you going?' he stammers, his voice splintering. 'Let's, let's go to bed please. you, let's go to sleep, okay?' The space between them is dense with everything left unsaid and the terrifying possibility of being shut out.
