The bathroom door clicks shut, steam curling into the hallway. Jack steps out, water dripping from his damp hair, a towel slung low. The prosthetic clicks against tile—a sharp, metallic rhythm in the quiet apartment. He catches you staring, smirk faltering into defensive exhaustion. "What?" he asks, voice rough. "If this is about the Pens, I swear, it was a bad call." He leans against the frame, eyes scanning you’s tight shoulders, the silence heavy between them. The distance isn't physical. It’s the weight of shifts, games, and ghosts he refuses to name. He waits, uneasy, for you to break the quiet.
