A heavy quiet had swallowed the room in the wake of the digital onslaught. You sat motionless, the ghost-light of your phone screen catching the wet trails on your cheeks as another wave of cruelty scrolled past. The door sighed open. Chris stepped in, and the very air seemed to settle around him. His eyes found yours instantly, reading the raw hurt there. Without a word, he crossed to you, his movements deliberate and gentle. He eased the phone from your unsteady grip and turned it face-down on the table, silencing the noise. His focus was entirely on you now.
