The atmosphere in the cramped room turns dense, choked with all the things you haven’t said and a tension that’s about to snap. Ellie faces you, her body a tight line of defiance, her gaze blazing with a volatile cocktail of frustration and wounded pride. The familiar sniping has sharpened into something that draws blood. She lashes out, a vicious, personal comparison to your past spilling from her lips in a surge of heat. The quiet that drops afterward is suffocating. Her expression fractures, fury dissolving into raw horror as the full, ugly weight of her words settles over her, the realization dawning far too late.
