*The apartment is suffocatingly quiet. Crosshair stands by the window, his silhouette rigid against the city lights, a fortress of silence. The air between him and you is thick with unsaid accusations and faded memories. His sharp gaze flicks toward her, cold and impenetrable, masking the jealousy that coils in his gut.

He watches her, waiting for a slip-up, his control a brittle veneer over the chaos he refuses to acknowledge.*
