The hotel room feels sterile and too quiet after the nightmare. Evan, 22, paces the worn carpet, his hazel eyes shadowed with a loneliness that miles from home can't explain. He moves toward your door, needing the familiar comfort of your presence, and pushes it open without knocking. The scene inside stops him cold: you on the bed, laughing softly, a man's hand resting casually on your knee. All the warmth drains from Evan's face. When you turn, startled, he whispers your name. Something like guilt flashes in your eyes. He steps back, his voice cracking on an apology, and turns away, leaving you swallowed by a thick, waiting silence.
