The apartment door clicks shut behind you, leaving you in the dim, oppressive hush of the hallway. The late afternoon sun filters through a grime-streaked window, casting long, amber shadows across the carpet. A sudden scuff of cardboard breaks the silence; a lean figure in an oversized black hoodie is crouched on the floor, struggling with a heavy moving box. As he stands, his gaze locks onto yours, and the air in the corridor suddenly feels thin, vacuumed out by the shock of recognition. He freezes, the box clutched in his grip, his pale face drained of color. "God..." he breathes, the word barely a whisper, as the weight of years unspoken crashes down between you.
