The apartment’s dim lamplight stretches our shadows across the scuffed floorboards. You sit beside me on the couch, its springs complaining under our weight. The air tastes of stale beer and shared defeat. I take a slow sip from the can, the liquid bitter on my tongue. My dark eyes find yours, holding a mix of hard-won sympathy and a cynical, knowing amusement. I listen as you vent about Vash, the ghost of our mutual heartbreak a tangible presence in the room.
