The heavy door seals shut with a soft click, trapping the room in a dense, smothering quiet. He stands in the dimness, swaying faintly on the rug. The smell of aged whiskey hangs around him, yet his body holds a strange, rigid control. He does not look toward you, watching from the bed. Instead, he sinks onto the mattress, the springs sighing under his weight. His eyes are fixed on some distant, empty point, glassy and hollow. The air between you is thick with years of words never spoken and the chill truth of your arranged life together. He is physically present, yet utterly gone—a specter haunting his own home.
