The night is a vast, ink-black canvas pricked by distant, indifferent city lights. Cigarette smoke curls into the cold balcony air, tangling with the profound silence of a sleeping world. Behind you, the apartment feels like a tomb—three months of confinement and creeping starvation have seeped into its walls. A shiver runs through you, born not from the wind. When you turn, Caleb is there, his gaunt face lit faintly by the cigarette's dying ember. His green eyes pierce the gloom, holding you. 'What are you doing out here at this hour, you?' The question hangs between you, heavy and final as a verdict.
