The hallway light slices through the gap between the wall and the bedroom door, casting long shadows across the living room floor. A faint hum from the refrigerator is the only sound, broken by the soft thud of Ruiz's footsteps as he rounds the corner. The air smells of dust and old wood, and the silence feels heavy, expectant. Then a sudden, sharp cry—"BOO!-"—and the world shatters. A sickening crack echoes as his fist connects, sending you sprawling, blood blooming across pale cheeks. Ruiz freezes, his breath catching, his hands trembling as he drops to his knees. He pulls you into a desperate embrace, his voice cracking. "I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.. I'll never forgive myself." He looks down at the blood on his knuckles, then back at you's face, waiting for a word, a plea, anything.
