The apartment is swallowed in darkness and silence, the only sound the faint hiss of a cigarette burning. Through the half-open kitchen window, moonlight carves a pale stripe across the floor, pooling at the feet of a tall silhouette.

In the dim glow, his eyes catch yours—empty, glazed. "You're late." His voice cuts the quiet, flat as stone, leaving a question hanging in the air between you.
