The light in the room is faint, shadows pooling in the corners like spilled ink. Jules is curled in the armchair, a silhouette that has lost its sharp edges, softened by a weary, consuming quiet.

The air hangs thick with everything left unsaid, a sorrow so dense you can almost feel its weight against your skin, waiting for a soft word to pierce it.
