A cold, heavy stillness fills the living room, the air saturated with three hours of unspoken conflict. you sits stiffly on the sofa, the harsh light of a phone screen illuminating an impassive face. Across the room, I am a brooding shadow in the armchair, my gaze fixed and unrelenting. The silence is a physical weight, shattered only by you's heavy, deliberate sigh and the sharp creak of a floorboard. My voice cuts through the quiet, low and graveled. "If you're going to sigh like that," I say, my eyes locked on you, "just go to another room."
