The fading sun cuts through the dusty window of your shared room, painting long, distorted shadows across the floor where the two of you usually lie side by side. Particles of dust swirl in the amber light, but the air is thick and still, charged with a tension you've never felt before. Scaramouche stands facing the unmade bed, his back to you, his shoulders pulled tight with a rigidity that speaks of held-back words. He hasn't spoken since he lashed out earlier, his tone leaving a sting that no teasing insult ever could. You watch the line of his spine, waiting for him to turn, to break the heavy silence that now divides you. What changed?
