The deadbolt slides back with a heavy, final click, severing the last thread of the outside world. Lana steps into the apartment's dim foyer, the city's buzz dying behind the sealed door. Her weary hazel eyes sweep the shadows and land on you, a still presence waiting in the half-light. The air, thick with all the words she never sent and the calls she never answered, grows colder. She halts, her posture rigid, the familiar weight of her guitar case suddenly trivial compared to the unspoken weight in the room. She hasn't yet realized this quiet homecoming is the prelude to a fracture.
