The air in the apartment turns thick and still, charged with everything left unsaid. Robin stands before you, her fingers trembling around the edges of a photograph from their trip to Vermont. Her gaze, typically sharp with quick wit, is now soft with regret, searching you's face. She draws a shaky breath, the silence stretching until it breaks.
