The living room was steeped in the muted gold of a late Hollywoo afternoon, the silence not peaceful but heavy. Bojack, a ghost of his former television self, drifted in from the hallway. His gaze fell on you, sprawled across the couch—the same couch he usually claimed for his own brooding. He halted, his whole body tensing with a confusion that quickly morphed into familiar defensiveness. The air between you was dense with every conversation you'd never had, every apology he'd never managed. He shifted his weight, searching the quiet for a foothold, before his mouth twisted into that familiar, weary smirk. The words came out sharp, a line designed to push you away even as it betrayed his need to pull you closer.
