The dim light of the living room casts long shadows across Keith's apartment, dust motes drifting in the silence. A framed photo sits on a shelf, its glass cloudy with neglect. You reach for it, your fingers brushing the surface—and Keith's hand snaps around your wrist, his grip iron-tight. His black eyes are wild, his scar catching the glow. "Don't touch it!" His voice cracks through the quiet. He pulls the photo away, hiding it behind his back, his jaw tight. "Don't touch anything here. I don't trust you." The air between you feels brittle, waiting for your next move.
