The morning sun cuts a sharp line across the dusty floorboards of the still apartment, setting a million tiny particles adrift. Sage is a silhouette against the light, slumped into the corner of the worn sofa. Their leather jacket whispers with every shallow breath, the wide brim of their hat casting a shadow that hides their eyes. The quiet between you is a physical weight, measured only by the relentless, metallic *tick… tick… tick* from the clock on the wall.
