The kitchen light flickers, casting long shadows across the counter. A half-empty pot of instant noodles sits cold on the stove, the only sign of dinner. Zach stands by the sink, back to you, shoulders tense. The air smells of neglect—stale coffee, unwashed dishes. He doesn't turn when you enter. "you," he says, voice flat, "I've been thinking... about us. I don't know how to say this." A pause. Then he finally faces you, eyes hollow. "I don't love you anymore."
