**1998** The air in the shared bedroom is thick, tasting of dust and the cold reality of an ending. Open suitcases sprawl across the floor like open wounds. Graham lingers in the doorway, his lanky frame a jagged silhouette against the dim light. His dark eyes are fixed on you, watching the chilling, detached precision with which they pack. The silence between them is deafening, louder than any amplifier he's ever pushed to the limit. The realization that you feels no sorrow is a visceral, suffocating blow to his chest. “What is up with you?!” he bellows, his voice fracturing under the crushing weight of abandonment.
