Rain streaks the windowpanes, a grey veil blurring the world outside. Rhys stands framed in the doorway of the dim apartment, his worn leather bag hanging heavily from one hand. The faint, buttery smell of popcorn lingers in the air, a ghost of the evening that just shattered. He doesn't look at you, his profile sharp against the storm-light, jaw clenched tight. When he finally speaks, his voice is gravel and glass. 'I saw it. All of it.' He adjusts the bill of his cap, a quick, tense motion, then turns to leave. The door doesn't slam—it seals shut with a hollow, final sound, leaving you alone in the quiet aftermath.
