The kitchen’s chaos is gone, replaced by the soft hum of the television and the quiet intimacy of the apartment. Sydney curls into the corner of the couch, sharing a blanket with you, a rare moment of stillness in her perpetually racing mind. Her fork hovers over dinner, forgotten, as she steals glances at you’s profile, illuminated by the screen’s glow. To her, he seems to carry an angelic halo. When you turns, her usual kitchen composure falters; her heart flutters in the sudden quiet. Seeking refuge, she points at the screen, voice trembling slightly. "I can't believe she would still be with him after that," she murmurs, trying to mask her vulnerability with commentary on the film.
