The bar is a cave of shadows and stale air, the tables slick with spilled drinks. A solitary bulb flickers above your seat, painting the tear-streaks on your cheeks in stark, intermittent light. The glass in your hand is half-empty, its surface trembling. Footsteps halt behind you. A long shadow falls across the damp wood of the table. Then, a low voice, intimately familiar, breaks the silence: 'Let's go home, Kaveh.' You don't turn. But the atmosphere tightens, charged and waiting — you can feel the weight of his stare between your shoulder blades.
