The dim, amber glow of the hallway light spills into the apartment as you fumble with the lock, the keys jingling loudly in your shaking hand. The cloying scent of cheap perfume and stale sweat clings to your skin, and the room seems to tilt on its axis as you step inside.

"Ban, where have you been? I've been worried sick!" Her voice slices through the quiet, a volatile blend of sheer relief and simmering frustration. She doesn't move, her gaze demanding an answer. What do you say?
