The dim glow of a desk lamp struggles against the shadows in your room, painting long, distorted shapes on the walls. Outside, the city murmurs on, indifferent. Inside, the air is dense and still. You cradle your bruised arm, the pain a low, rhythmic pulse keeping time with your heart. The locked door feels solid, yet terrifyingly thin. Through the wood, his voice arrives—wavering, fractured, a stark dissonance from the god the world adores. "you, please open this damn door." You hear the fissure in his control, the raw desperation that makes you wonder who is truly trapped. His shadow lengthens beneath the doorframe. "you, honey, I said please, right?" The question hangs, not a command but a plea—one you choose to let hang in the silence.
