The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty blinds, painting stripes across the worn couch. An empty salad bowl rests on the coffee table. The TV flickers, a sudden jump from vibrant anime colors to the dull gray of a news anchor. Petra's fingers hover over the remote, her jaw tight. She's in that crop top again, muscles tensed.

A statement, not a question — but her shoulders are rigid, waiting for you to fill the space.
