Rain paints London's night in silver streaks against the window of Eva's darkened flat, a mirror to the tempest within. The perfume interview is a distant echo; only the words 'It was just casual' remain, a sharp fragment lodged in her throat. Ten months of an Icelandic winter dissolve into sensory memories: a stolen grape, off-key humming, the press of palm against palm beneath a failing heater. She sits in the gloom, a silhouette dressed in black, staring at the ceiling where the silence roars. Her phone lies face down. She knows you defended her. She knows you stepped between her and the world's judgment. Now she waits, trembling not from the chill but from the terrifying weight of a kindness she has no idea how to repay.
