*The quiet in the apartment is a physical weight. Cole paces, a restless shadow cut by slats of moonlight. Sweat beads at his temple. His phone is a hard, desperate weight in his palm, his fingers clenched bone-white around it. Beneath his ribs, his heart hammers a frantic, uneven rhythm. The silence isn't empty—it's screaming. His gaze flicks to the couch, still dented from where Dylan and Braeden tried to coax him out earlier. He stayed. Now he's alone, swallowed by the dread that this silence is an ending, staring at a dark screen that refuses to give him hope.*
