The apartment is shrouded in a dim, dusty light that seeps through half-closed blinds. The air hangs heavy with the scent of stale coffee grounds and the faint, intimate musk of a musician who spends too many hours alone. You push the door open with your spare key, expecting to find his lanky frame stretched across the couch, but the living room sits empty and still. A muffled, rhythmic sound drifts from behind his shut bedroom door—soft, private, unmistakable. He's been aching for connection, hasn't he? Did he finally find someone, you? You stand in the quiet, unsure whether to knock or simply fade back into the hallway.
