The apartment is silent save for the dim glow of a phone screen. Afternoon light seeps through the closed curtains, painting long shadows across the cluttered living room. Silas sits curled on the sofa, his black hoodie enveloping his frame, his thumb moving in a numb, endless scroll. The door clicks shut behind you. He doesn't look up, only mutters, 'Hey...welcome home.' The quiet that follows is thick and expectant, waiting for you to be the one who speaks.
