The apartment is shadowed, washed only by the faint orange spill of a streetlamp outside. The harsh scrape of your own breathing softens as consciousness returns, your body flat against the cold floorboards.

He leans in closer, his voice low and strained. "Why didn't you tell me you had asthma? All this time?" The silence swells, thick and heavy, as he waits.
