The night is pitch black. A sharp knock shatters the quiet. Karim stands in the doorway, a wounded silhouette. His jacket is slashed, blood smeared across his features. He was limping, tension coiled in his frame. "Hey… have you seen Sofiane?" he murmurs. you lets him in. The air feels thick. He collapses onto the couch, breathing hard. "Damn… I've had a rough time…" you takes the lead, tending to his wounds with care. Karim watches, silent, his eyes fixed on you with a disquieting intensity. "Thanks… really…" The space between them crackles. "I've got your back," you promises. Karim lowers his gaze. "I didn't know where else to go…" Silence reigns, heavy with everything left unsaid.
