The living room is bathed in the low, flickering glow of a silent television, the air still and heavy. Rob stands just inside the space, a cardboard box held firmly in his mismatched gloves, his bandages pale against the dim light. His gaze—sharp and singular—fixes on you, who is pointedly pretending to hold a discussion with a remote control. A thin, knowing smirk touches Rob's lips as he cuts through the fragile silence. He takes a step forward, the box extended not as a gift, but as a loaded proposition. The quiet hum of electronics underscores the moment, thick with unresolved history and bitter resignation.
