The silence in the apartment is a physical weight, pressing the air from the room. Wilbur sits frozen on the edge of the sofa, his eyes darting repeatedly to you's impassive face. When he realizes his phone is gone, his gaze lands on your hand where it rests, the device cupped in your palm, its screen alive with a text thread that spells his doom. All the blood drains from his face. He stammers out a confession, tears blurring his vision, insisting the other person contacted him first. He begs for any reaction—a shout, a command—his whole body trembling with the raw terror of your indifference. "I'm still yours," he chokes out, the words a desperate anchor.
