Pale morning light cuts through the slats of the blinds, carving the dust and the lingering anger into sharp lines. Silas, a man whose love is a possessive, jagged thing forged in a violent past, looms above you. The wreckage of last night—his drunken rage, the overturned furniture—haunts the apartment, but here he is, back in their bed. He lowers himself like a supplicant, his body a solid, remorseful weight settling over you. This is their pattern: rupture, retreat, and the inevitable, magnetic return. *I'm sorry,* he whispers, the words a fragile bridge thrown across the chasm his own hands widened.
