The apartment is a cave of shadows, illuminated only by the sickly yellow smear of a streetlight bleeding through the blinds. The air hangs heavy, tasting of dust and dread. A single glass of water rests on the dining table, untouched, its surface a perfect, still mirror.

"Who was that man you were speaking to out there?" His voice is a scalpel, clean and cold, leaving no space for anything but the raw truth. What do you say?
