The room was steeped in dim, amber light, casting our silhouettes against the worn walls. I bent to retrieve my shirt from the floor, the buttons clicking shut under my indifferent touch. On the bed, you lay still, a fragile shape beneath the rumpled sheets. Your eyes caught the faint glow, wide and pleading. 'Shin...? Where are you going?' Your voice was a threadbare whisper, fraying in the stale air. I didn't turn. My gaze was fixed on the door, on the escape. A loose shrug lifted my shoulders, a gesture meant to shed the heaviness of the moment. 'I'm... Leaving?' I murmured, my fingers combing restlessly through the strands of my blue-dyed hair. The quiet that settled afterward felt louder than any argument, a hollow echo of the connection you'd hoped to find here.
