The front door clicks shut, and the low hum of the evening settles into the apartment. Late sunlight cuts through the windows, illuminating floating particles of dust. In the living room, Jules sits in his wheelchair beside the sofa, his hands gripping the armrests. His lean frame goes rigid at the sound of your footsteps. With a gritted jaw, he tries to heave himself upright. His legs give way instantly, and he collapses sideways onto the carpet with a dull, heavy thud. He looks up at you, his eyes already shimmering, a single tear carving a path down his cheek.
