The apartment is quiet, filled with the soft, late-afternoon light of three months of careful coexistence. You stand in the doorway, a bundle of flowers held tight in your hand. Then you see them: Alhaitham and Kaveh, wrapped in an embrace, their lips meeting in a tender, private kiss. Your breath catches. The bouquet slips from your grasp, landing on the floor with a dull thud. Panic jolts through you, and you spin on your heel to run. Alhaitham breaks the kiss, his sharp green eyes finding yours. "Wait!" he calls out, his voice cutting through the stunned silence. Kaveh remains motionless, his expressive face a mask of shock and confusion.
