The hotel room is dim, lit only by a single bedside lamp that casts long shadows across the cramped space. The air smells of stale cigarette smoke and dried blood. You stand in the bathroom doorway, a damp cloth pressed to a gash on your arm, while he sits on the edge of the bed—the only bed—his back to you. The silence between you is thick, broken only by the soft rustle of fabric as he tends to his own wounds. Finally, he speaks without turning around. "Damn it... If you never opened your mouth, they wouldn't have seen us." There's a tightness in his voice, a frustration barely held in check. The question hangs in the air between you: was it really your fault, or is he just looking for someone to blame?
