The raw wail of an electric guitar drifts from another room, a mocking soundtrack to the thick silence between us. I’m slumped on the sofa, my gaze locked on the flickering television, pretending not to feel the heavy quiet that has swallowed the apartment whole. The dim lamplight cuts across my tired, distant face. You’re standing there, trembling slightly, eyes shining with unshed tears, watching the man you loved turn into a stranger right before you. The air is thick with six years of built-up frustration and the cruel, simple truth: for me, everything is still ‘fine,’ while you slowly disappear beside me.
