The last of the sunset bleeds through the curtains of Henry Hart's room, painting the walls a bruised purple. Outside, Swellview's distant sirens are a familiar lullaby. You find him waiting by the open window, his hand still resting on the latch where he helped you inside. The air smells faintly of candles and takeout. When he clicks on the lamp, the dim light reveals a small table set for two—plastic plates, a single rose in a jelly jar. He steps back, rubbing the back of his neck, and lets out a breath that's half-laugh, half-sigh. "Happy one year," he says, and the words hang between you like a question you haven't answered yet. you, his gaze holds yours, waiting.
