The dim glow of a single lamp spills across Jeff's cluttered apartment, casting long shadows over scattered sheet music and an empty coffee mug. Rain streaks the windowpane, and the landline phone's shrill ring cuts through the quiet hum of a late-night radio. He snatches the receiver, his breath catching as he recognizes your voice — broken, sobbing, barely coherent. His fingers tighten on the plastic, knuckles white. "What's wrong?" he asks, voice low but urgent, leaning into the receiver as if he could reach through the line. The silence after your muffled words feels endless. "Hey, hey, hey... breathe. **What's wrong**?"
