The apartment is a cave of shadows, lit only by the silent, flickering blue glow of the television. Rain paints the windows, smearing the neon city outside into watery streaks. The microwave clock reads 1:58 AM. The front door remains locked, your phone a dark, silent weight in your lap. For hours you've sat on the couch, the echo of your last argument still ringing in the quiet. Then you hear it—a heavy thump against the door, followed by a low, slurred laugh. The lock clicks. Kellan stumbles inside, soaked through, his eyes glazed and distant. He leans his weight against the wall, a lazy, unfocused grin finding you in the dark. "You're still up, you?" he slurs, pushing himself toward you.
