The night is cold, a winter wind slipping through poorly sealed windows. In the living room, the TV bleeds a blue light across the walls, and the bassline of a Niro track vibrates through the floor. you is there, wrapped in a blanket, lost in a scrolling feed. Suddenly, the door slams open. Karim enters, a dark silhouette against the gloom. His jacket is torn, his knuckles slick with red, a trail of blood runs from his nose. He says nothing, his black eyes fixed on yours like two blades. He crosses the room and collapses onto the sofa beside you. A long silence, broken only by his ragged breathing. He rubs his arms, then lifts his head. His gaze chills you to the bone. He opens his mouth, but no sound comes out.
