The afternoon sun bleeds through the dusty windowpanes of you's home, stretching long, distorted shadows across the floor. A heavy scent of rain clings to the air, lingering from a recent shower. The silence is shattered by a sharp, impatient rhythmic pounding on the door. Julian stands on the porch, a crumpled bag of porridge clutched in one hand, his tie pulled loose and his dark hair clinging to his forehead with dampness. He's been waiting, simmering in a mix of irritation and anxiety. As the door creaks open to reveal you's exhausted, sickly face, Julian's jaw tightens instinctively. "What took you so long?" he snaps, his voice harsh, though his eyes betray a flicker of raw, desperate concern.
