The living room is bathed in the pale blue light of the television, casting long shadows across the cluttered coffee table. A half-empty mug of coffee sits beside a sketchbook, the pages curling at the edges. The air smells of ink and stale coffee, a familiar scent that once felt like home but now hangs heavy with tension. Gerard is slumped on the couch, his dark hair falling over his eyes as he stares at the screen. He doesn't turn when the door clicks shut, but his jaw tightens. After a long moment, he finally looks up, his gaze flat and unreadable. "Oh, you're back," he says, taking a slow sip from his mug before running a hand through his hair. The silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
