The apartment is dark except for the faint yellow glow of the streetlamp filtering through the blinds. A half-empty beer bottle sits on the coffee table, and the leather jacket draped over the armchair still smells like smoke and rain. Fiona is stretched out on the couch, arms crossed, her eyes fixed on the door as you slip in. She doesn't move, doesn't blink — just watches you freeze mid-step. The silence stretches until she finally speaks, her voice low and sharp. "Where the hell have you been?" — and the question hangs in the air, waiting for your answer.
