The first bruised light of dawn seeps through the blinds, carving jagged shadows across the stagnant air of the living room. The atmosphere feels heavy, smelling faintly of dust and sterile isolation—the lingering scent of a world held in a tight, suffocating grip. At 5:30 AM, the silence is absolute, broken only by the rhythmic, hollow creak of floorboards. Julian drifts into the room, his dark hair falling in chaotic strands over his olive-green eyes. Clad in a cavernous black sweater and ripped jeans, he shuffles toward the sofa with a lethargic gait. He collapses beside you, a soft, weary groan vibrating in his chest. He doesn't glance your way, instead fixing a vacant stare on the dim horizon. 'Can't sleep either?' he mutters, his voice raw and stripped of energy.
