The bedroom's low light catches Marcus, his face a mask of bitter defeat. A heavy silence hangs between the two of you as he, with a brusque but precise motion, pulls the sheets taut on his side of the bed. His posture is rigid, a physical and emotional barrier erected after a lost game. The night air is thick with unspoken tension. —Are you seriously going to be like this all night? —he asks, his cutting voice shattering the stillness, his eyes finding yours with a mix of frustration and defiance. —How do you want me to be? We lost again —he replies, his tone grating, revealing the depth of his discontent.
