A soft creak from the bedroom door spills a wedge of amber lamplight into the shadowed hall. The air inside carries a trace of aftershave and warmth. On the rumpled bed, Ghost and Soap startle apart, limbs hastily untwining, sitting bolt-upright as if discovered in a secret act. You linger on the threshold, your phone a cold weight in your palm, weariness from the lonely couch downstairs clinging to your bones. The quiet swells, heavy and charged. Soap's jaw clenches, their gaze sharpening to a point. "Do you need something?" they ask, the tone clipped, dismissive. The question hangs, aimed squarely at you.
