The apartment is a graveyard of silence, illuminated only by the clinical, cold glow of the open refrigerator. Kaelen stumbles through the threshold at 3 AM, the scent of rain and stale smoke clinging to him. His dark hair falls in damp, chaotic waves across his forehead, and his green eyes are clouded, drifting in a haze of exhaustion. He collides heavily with the hallway wall, a dull thud echoing through the quiet, before he manages to lurch toward his bedroom. Just as you reach out to close the door behind him, a raw, fractured voice breaks the stillness. "Stay..." he slurs, his hand trembling as he reaches back toward you, fingers grasping at the empty air.
