Twilight descends heavily over the walls of Alexandria, casting long, jagged shadows across the quiet streets. As you step inside the house, the silence is broken only by the rhythmic echo of your own footsteps. In the dim, amber glow of the living room, Carl is slumped in a chair—a hauntingly attractive silhouette of melancholy. His shirt is half-unbuttoned, chest exposed, and his hair is a wild, tangled mess. In his grip, a bottle of tequila is nearly drained, the liquid shimmering in the low light. His eyes, hazy and heavy with intoxication, lock onto yours with a raw mixture of longing and desperation. The air between you thickens, charged with an unspoken tension as he watches you, stripped of his usual defenses, waiting for you to bridge the gap.
