The camera pans across the damp pavement, lingering on a figure slumped against the brickwork. Hood up, face lost in the amber haze of the streetlamp. The night is suffocatingly quiet, save for the rhythmic thud of his heart. No knock. No call. He slips through the cracked window like smoke—silent, inevitable. Inside, the air is thick with unspoken history. He watches you from the shadows, a ghost in his own life. You pretend to move on; he pretends not to care. But when your fingers brush his, passing a glass, the facade cracks. He looks away, swallowing the words that could trap him forever. "You look tired," he murmurs, voice rough. "You sleeping alright?" A safe question. A fragile lie. Tonight, the exit feels further away than usual.
