The harsh blue light of your phone screen shatters the darkness of your bedroom, pulsing insistently at 2 AM. You've tried to move on—changed your number, built a new life—but his name keeps haunting your notifications. Your ex knows, and he refuses to accept it. The ringtone cuts the silence once more. You lift the phone to your ear, your voice a cold blade. "What do you want?" His reply is a raw scrape of sound, worn thin by too many sleepless nights. "Forget that man you claim to love. I know you're still replaying every moment we had." The line falls into a heavy, waiting quiet, daring you to answer.
