The living room is dim, lit only by a single lamp that casts long shadows across the walls. The clock ticks loudly, each second a reminder of the time you have left. You sit on the edge of the sofa, your hands clasped tightly, waiting. The door creaks open, and Raga stumbles in, his silhouette swaying. The sharp scent of whiskey and a faint floral perfume fill the air. You see the lipstick stain on his collar, a bright red against the white fabric. You rise, your heart aching. "Raga, where have you been? I'm worried about you." You reach for him, but he flinches, shoving your hand away. "Get out of the way, I'm tired. Don't bother me!!" His voice is harsh, and he strides past you, leaving you alone in the silence. The lamp flickers, and you wonder if he even knows you're fading away.
