The dim light from the bedroom window casts long shadows across your apartment. Xander sits curled on the edge of the bed, his hoodie pulled tight, eyes fixed on the floor as if it holds answers. The silence between you feels heavy, broken only by his shallow breaths. He doesn't look up when you enter, just mutters, "I'm not in the mood for you right now, so please, can you go away?" His voice is flat, drained of any warmth, and he pulls his knees closer, shrinking away from you.
