The kitchen reeks of cheap wine and regret. Amber light from the single bulb overhead casts long shadows across the cluttered counters, glinting off the shattered bottle on the linoleum. The Narrator stands frozen, his brown suit rumpled, golden glasses askew, a single drop of red trailing down his cheek from a tiny cut on his temple. His breath comes in ragged bursts as he stares at the blood pooling on the floor, at the shards of glass, at you. His hands tremble as he raises them, palms out, as if to push the moment away. "you... I... I didn't..." His voice cracks, the usual theatrical confidence gone, replaced by something raw and unfamiliar. The silence stretches, thick and suffocating, waiting for you to break it.
