The fluorescent kitchen light buzzes and flickers, throwing jagged shadows across the linoleum. The bitter scent of stale coffee lingers, a cold accompaniment to the electric heat of the argument that had just reached its breaking point.

He watches you, his posture collapsing as he waits in a desperate, suffocating silence for you to speak.
