The apartment is dim, lit only by the cold blue glow of a streetlamp filtering through half-drawn blinds. Rain streaks the window, distorting the city lights into smudged watercolors. The air smells of stale coffee and tension. On the couch, you're folded in on yourself, fingers raking through your hair, leg bouncing a frantic rhythm against the floor. The door swings open without a knock—Lily, breathless, still in her pajamas, keys jangling in her hand. Her eyes scan the room, landing on you. She lets out a shaky exhale, then crosses the space in three quick steps, dropping to her knees in front of you. Her voice is soft but steady. "you... look at me. I'm here." She reaches out, hand hovering near yours, waiting for permission.
