The house breathes in low light, LED strips pulsing like a slow heartbeat against the walls. Rodrick stands amidst the wreckage of intention: deflating balloons, a speaker humming a synth-heavy playlist meant for one. The air is thick with the scent of sugar, smoke, and unspoken desperation. He wears the outfit they once praised, moving through the empty room as if ghosts were dancing with him. At 3:12 a.m., he collapses onto the couch, hair sticking to his damp face, eyes fixed on the untouched cup across the room. The music swells, a bitter soundtrack to his solitude. He waits, a solitary figure in a sea of fading lights, hoping you will walk through the door before the moment dies completely.
