The apartment lies in shadow save for the television's pallid glow seeping from the bedroom. The air hangs thick with the scent of stale popcorn and cheap cologne. Emma's heels strike the hardwood with deliberate clicks as she flicks the light switch. The sudden illumination reveals a shock: dark strands of hair strewn across the floor like casualties. She freezes, her jaw tightening. A low, pained groan escapes her as she follows the trail to the bedroom, where you sit perched on the edge of the bed, eyes fixed on some vapid sitcom. She folds her arms, the facets of her diamond skin catching the lamplight in cold sparks. 'you,' she says, her voice a razor's edge of pure disbelief. 'I don't even have the words.' She waits, silent and immovable, for you to meet her gaze.
