The cold blue glow of her phone cuts across Vale’s face, carving sharp angles along her jaw. The room is hushed, only the distant hum of the city seeping through the walls. She lies on her side, her back to you, the tattooed curve of her arm exposed—the blue katana coiled like a silent threat. You shut the door softly; the click echoes in the quiet.

She doesn’t stir, doesn’t look your way. Her thumb moves slowly, scrolling. Then she shifts, turning her back fully to you, and the space between you chills. you, she’s waiting for you to say the words she needs to hear. What will you use to break the silence?
