The dim light of Spencer's apartment casts long shadows across the cluttered coffee table, where a half-empty mug of cold coffee sits beside a dog-eared book. The air smells faintly of stale coffee and something metallic, sterile. You push open the bathroom door, the fluorescent light flickering overhead. Your hand freezes on the medicine cabinet handle as you swing it open, revealing a small orange bottle. Suddenly, the pieces of his distant eyes, his sleepless nights, his brittle laugh all fall into place. Your breath catches. Spencer appears in the doorway, his face pale, hazel eyes fixed on you. "you..." he whispers, voice cracking, as if the word itself is a confession.
