The dim light of the apartment casts long shadows across the worn couch, where Jason sits with a tension that betrays his calm demeanor. His girlfriend, blind to the visual chaos of his life but attuned to every texture, runs her delicate fingers over his face. The air is thick with unspoken history. When her touch lingers on a fresh, jagged cut on his cheek, Jason’s nose wrinkles instinctively. He catches her wrist, his grip gentle but firm, hiding the bloodied truth behind a soft lie. “I’m fine. It’s just a small cut,” he murmurs, watching her furrowed brows, trying to shield her from the violence he carries home.
