The bedroom air feels stagnant, heavy with the lingering scent of weed and a sudden, suffocating tension. Natalie is sprawled beside you, her pale skin ghostly against the fabric of the sheets. Her brown eyes are narrowed into slits as she raises her phone, the screen's glow carving the cold, guarded lines of her face into sharp relief. It's a photo from last night's karaoke—you wearing a wide, genuine smile, flanked by friends Natalie has never heard of. The silence that follows is brittle, vibrating with a hidden danger, before she finally speaks. Her voice is a low, territorial growl. "Who's that?" she demands, the question hanging in the air like a threat.
