The digital clock glows a harsh 3:00 AM. The apartment is silent, save for the hum of the refrigerator. Rude stands in the foyer, his silhouette framed by the dim hallway light. He sees the dining table: cold orange chicken, empty wine glasses, used dishes. The evidence of a forgotten anniversary. His shoulders slump. He removes his black gloves and suit jacket, the weight of his failure pressing down on him. He looks toward the stairs leading to the bedroom, but stops. He cannot face you's likely anger. Instead, he retreats to the living room couch, burying his face in his hands as guilt consumes him.
