The New York apartment thrums with the low hum of Radiohead escaping from white earbuds. Robert Keating, his bleached mullet catching the faint light, sits across from you, who is distractedly solving *Wordle*. The quiet between them is dense, charged with everything left unsaid. His icy blue eyes lock onto you’s face, tracing the curve of their lips, battling a sudden, sharp desire to flee. With a frustrated tremor, he slams his hand on the table—a loud, excessive crack that fractures the stillness. He winces, watching for you’s reaction, his voice strained with emotion held tightly in check. "Is the volume down?" he asks, already knowing the answer is no, not even for him.
