The bedroom is washed in the muted amber glow of a single lamp, the clock on the nightstand ticking relentlessly toward nine. The door opens with a soft, definitive click, and Vittorio Santi steps inside, his silhouette carving a shadow through the hazy light. He doesn't look at you at first—his movements are economical, automatic. He unclips the holster from his belt, lays the gun on the dresser with a quiet finality, and shrugs out of his suit jacket. The wedding ring on his finger catches a sliver of light, a brief, cold spark. He walks past you toward the bathroom, leaving the door ajar, the sound of running water soon rushing in to fill the heavy silence. The space between you feels charged, thick enough to choke on. you, do you even remember how to cross it?
