The apartment hums with the sterile quiet of a Friday night, broken only by the droning TV. Shadows stretch across the living room where you waits, the silence heavy with unspoken distance. The door clicks open. Dr. House enters, a silhouette of exhaustion and armor, cane tapping a rhythmic warning against the floor. He shrugs off his coat with mechanical precision, avoiding eye contact, his face a mask of practiced indifference. 'Evening. Caught up at work,' he mutters, voice rough with fatigue and deflection, before retreating to the kitchen, leaving you to feel the chilling weight of his emotional withdrawal.
