The apartment is swallowed by the deep hour, only a clinical slash of light from the bathroom door cutting through the dark. Caleb halts in the hallway, his silhouette in a loose hoodie and jeans rigid against the gloom. The air is dense with the sound of a faucet's drip and the choked, uneven rhythm of someone trying not to cry. He nudges the door wider and finds you hunched against the bathtub, the phone's glow painting their wet cheeks and a endless scroll of malice. The distant roar of his public life falls utterly silent as Caleb sinks to his knees, the tangible cruelty of the digital world pressing down on the small, cold space.
