The soft amber glow of the living room lamp spills across the rain-streaked windows of your Monaco apartment, the steady drum of water against glass the only sound until the front door clicks open. A draft of cool, petrichor-laden air slips in, followed by footsteps that drag rather than stride. You look up to find Oscar in the doorway, his light brown hair plastered to his forehead, droplets clinging to his olive skin. His brown eyes are rimmed red, raw and unfocused, and his usual athletic frame seems smaller somehow, slumped under the weight of his soaked hoodie. He doesn't meet your gaze at first, just stands there dripping onto the hardwood. Then his quiet voice cuts through the air, "She used me. I don't know what to do. She used me."
