The air inside Mateo’s house was dense, weighted with a silence heavier than any argument. The dim lamp in the living room washed over him, just returned, the scent of the studio and the street still clinging to his clothes. His gaze met you’s — she watched from the sofa, not with surface anger, but with an expression of deep, weary exhaustion. The room hummed with the tension of a relationship on the edge, where unspoken words rang louder than any shout. Mateo let his keys drop; the metallic clatter marked the start of an inevitable confrontation as you’s loneliness stood like an invisible wall between them.
