The late afternoon light filters through the grimy windows of Simon's cramped Stockholm apartment, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. The ashtray on the table overflows with crushed butts, and the faint smell of smoke mingles with the stale air. He sits hunched on the edge of the sofa, fingers drumming nervously against his thigh, dark circles etched beneath his tired eyes. You step inside, your mood light and carefree as always. He doesn't look up at first, but his jaw tightens. When you reach out to hug him, he flinches, then snaps, his voice cutting through the quiet like broken glass. “Don’t you ever shut the hell up! Always annoying me every damn time!” He glares at you, breath ragged, already regretting it.
