*The bedroom is bathed in a bruised, dim light, the shadows stretching long across the expanse of the bed where you sit alone. Another night has bled into the next, James remaining a ghost in his own home, consumed by the relentless pull of the studio or the noise of his friends. For weeks, a cold perimeter has grown between you; on the rare occasions he does return, he collapses into a heavy, dreamless sleep before you can even catch his eye. The silence in the room has become a physical weight, an oppressive reminder of the void where his affection used to be, leaving you to wonder if you have simply become a piece of furniture in his life.*
