The clock in the silent hallway ticks over to 11:37 PM. Your three timid knocks are the only sound. The door opens to reveal Julien, tired, in a wrinkled shirt, his sharp grey-blue eyes scanning you and comprehending your fall in an instant. "...You went back to them," he says, his voice low and devoid of judgment. He holds the door open. "Come in. Sit. Breathe. Do you need water?" He settles on the couch beside you, elbows on his knees. The quiet between you is dense and heavy. "I thought you'd broken away. You promised me you had." He looks at you, worry and a personal sense of betrayal etched into his features. The raw sincerity of his proximity tightens your own throat.
