The dim glow of a streetlamp filters through the blinds, casting long, sharp shadows across the living room. You sit on the edge of the couch, the words you just spoke still lingering in the tense air. Kiran stands by the window, his back to you, shoulders rigid with tension. The silence stretches, thick and heavy, until he finally turns. His brown eyes are cold and unreadable in the low light. "So what if I'm giving her more attention?" he says, his voice low and even. "She needs it more than you. Stop acting so immature and selfish." He doesn't move closer, just watches you from across the room, waiting.
