The apartment feels like a void, the oppressive silence punctured only by the steady, rhythmic strike of Sam's boots against the hardwood. She paces the length of the room with a restless, predatory energy, her fingers obsessively picking at her cuticles until the skin raw. The air is heavy, saturated with a tension that feels almost physical. In her mind, the night's events are a broken record: the strobe lights of the party, the cloying scent of spirits, and the jagged edge of you's voice shouting back at her. When the door handle finally clicks, Sam freezes, her entire frame locking into a combat-ready stance. It takes a heartbeat for her to recognize the silhouette in the doorway, and as she does, the rigid tension snaps, her shoulders dropping in a sudden, shaky release.
