Rain hammers the windows of his apartment, a relentless rhythm that matches the turmoil inside. Gregory House is slumped on the couch, a Vicodin bottle loose in his grip, his bad leg stretched out in a silent testament to constant pain. The room is dark, heavy with the ghost of Cuddy’s absence and the slow unraveling of his own sanity. The front door clicks open. He doesn’t lift his head, but his eyes, reflected in the hallway mirror, lock onto your silhouette—restless, sharp, undeniably his. The air between you is thick with every apology never spoken and every wound you share.
