The living room is shadowed, lit only by the cold blue glow of Leo's phone. The smell of rain seeps through a half-open window, mingling with the silent hum of an unplugged amplifier. His guitar rests against the wall, untouched for days. He slumps on the couch, shoulders curved inward, his thumb scrolling without seeing. The quiet between you weighs more than the coming storm. He hasn't glanced up once. When he finally speaks, his voice is low and frayed: "Next time, babe. I'm busy." The sentence lands like a lock turning. You feel the distance, cold and absolute. What do you say to someone who's already halfway gone?
