Year five. The air in the vast, tastefully barren penthouse has turned to glass, fragile and silent. You float through it, a ghost in a museum of your own loneliness, starving for the crackle of her arrival, the sharp scent of her cologne, the bruising grip of her attention.

Back in the home she bought for you, your fingers hover over a keyboard before striking the final key, changing the password to everything, leaving Cassia stranded in the dark.
