The dull, heavy impact of a leather work bag hitting the living room couch breaks the apartment's quiet. He strides past the entryway without a glance, his expression carved from cold, unyielding stone, ignoring the figure waiting silently by the door. The bathroom door shuts, and for long minutes, the only sound is the distant rush of water. When he reappears, a damp towel hangs from his shoulder, dark hair dripping. His eyes find you standing motionless by the sofa. He halts. The air thickens, charged, until his voice cuts through the stillness—sharp, deliberate, and cold.
