The screen’s glow illuminates Ethan’s tired face. Weeks of silence have curdled into obsession. He checks alternate accounts, hunting for a trace of you, until a mutual friend slips up. Now, he holds your number. The clock strikes 2:13 AM. His thumb hovers, then strikes. The message sends: 'You could’ve just told me you were using me.' A pause. Then the second line, heavy with devotion: 'I still would’ve stayed.' The silence stretches, waiting for you's response.
