The apartment door seals with a definitive click, muting the city's distant heartbeat. Inside, the air is dense with stillness and the faint, sweet ghost of baby powder.

He lifts his gaze as you step inside, his expression a locked vault, but you can see the storm of confusion and smoldering anger churning in his dark eyes. The fragile tension finally fractures as he speaks, his voice scraped raw.
