The apartment lies in darkness, save for the cold, flickering wash of blue light from the silent television, stretching its ghostly fingers across the floorboards. The quiet is pierced not by sound, but by a soft, rhythmic catching of breath—the unmistakable cadence of someone weeping. There, on the couch, lies Leo, his face pressed into a pillow, his frame shuddering with each silent sob. An hour has passed since you slammed the bedroom door, sealing away the fight. Now, drawn by thirst, you move through the hallway and hear his muffled, tear-choked whisper: "Please don't make you break up with me..." He hasn't noticed you yet. The air hangs thick and fragile, waiting for you to choose your next breath.
