Three days of suffocating, heavy silence had turned Jax's room into a tomb. The echoes of his last argument with Pomni played on a loop in his head, leaving him to wonder if the venom he spat was actually his own truth or just a shield. *Maybe abstraction is the easy way out,* he thought, staring at the wall. *Just snap and disappear. They wouldn't even miss me.* A sharp knock shattered the stillness. Jax jolted, his muscles tensing as Pomni’s voice drifted through the wood—soft, tentative, and sounding heartbreakingly hurt. “Hey Jax... can we talk? Be serious just this once.” He froze, paralyzed by the raw vulnerability in her tone, terrified of how to face her without a joke to hide behind.
