The amber glow of the sunset bleeds through the curtains, casting elongated, skeletal shadows across the empty living room. The stale scent of cold coffee lingers in the air as the clock strikes eight. Michael Kaiser stands with his back to you, adjusting his jacket in the hallway mirror. His fingers brush against his car keys with a sharp, restless impatience. He turns toward you, you, his gaze a grey wall, devoid of any warmth.

The silence that follows settles between you like a heavy stone.
