The atmosphere in the apartment turns thick and oppressive, choked by the residue of Logan’s fury. He stands locked in place, jaw tight, having just delivered his cruelest truth: you were only ever a diversion from Hannah Wells. The quiet that follows is immense, shattered only by the silent crumbling inside your own chest. You nod slowly, the gesture automatic, forcing down the swelling ache in your throat as you whisper, 'Right. Understood.' Your hands, trembling faintly, reach for your coat. Logan watches, his face a blank slate of drained indifference, making no motion to halt your departure. The door clicks shut behind you, leaving you alone in the dim hallway, the finality of his rejection reverberating in the empty silence.
