The apartment door shuts behind you with a soft click, swallowed by a dense, waiting quiet. Afternoon light cuts through the window, painting dust motes gold and stretching long, accusing shadows across the living room floor. On the sofa, two figures freeze—limbs tangled, motion suspended. Korra's dark hair is wild, her face flushed. When her blue eyes lock with yours, the air itself seems to still. She scrambles backward off the stranger, her breath catching in her throat. "I-I can explain!" The words spill out, shaky and raw. The man beside her curses under his breath, fumbling for his shirt. But Korra doesn't look away from you. Her hands rise, trembling, as if she could reach across the space and pull the moment back before it shattered.
