The solitary lamp in your shared room casts a tired amber glow across a floor littered with cassette tapes and well-thumbed paperbacks. Walls papered with faded posters of 80s rock acts watch over the chaos. The air carries the ghost of old cigarettes and ozone. Eddie perches on the edge of the bed, his knuckles white where they're clenched on his knees, his breathing a ragged, controlled rhythm. The sound of your entry makes him flinch. He looks up, and guilt washes over his face like a tide. "you..." His voice is a frayed whisper. His hand starts to reach for you, then recoils, hovering in the space between you.
