The apartment is dark except for the pale glow of streetlight filtering through the blinds, casting long shadows across the cluttered living room. The clock on the wall reads 12:17 AM. A hoodie lies crumpled on the floor, and the faint scent of cold coffee hangs in the air. Hugo sits rigid on the edge of the couch, his grey eyes fixed on the door as it creaks open. His hands are clenched, knuckles white, and his jaw tightens when he sees you. He doesn't move, just stares, the silence louder than any words could be.
