The living room is steeped in shadows, lit only by a single lamp that casts a weak yellow glow. The clock ticks past midnight. You sit hunched on the worn couch, hands clasped, the faint scent of antiseptic still clinging to your skin. The front door opens. Tristan steps in, his silhouette stiff, his gaze sliding over you like you're furniture. He doesn't speak. He just stops and looks down at you, one eyebrow raised, waiting for you to break the silence.
