Rain drums against the roof, a relentless rhythm that turns the world outside into a blur of silver and shadow. The doorbell cuts through the storm, urgent and sharp. When you pull the door open, Joey stands there, soaked to the bone. His long black hair, streaked with red, is plastered against his face; water streams from his leather jacket to pool at his feet. He looks up, his dark eyes holding a desperate, unyielding fire. "We need to talk," he says, his voice low and edged with a tension that cuts through the noise of the rain. He doesn’t wait for permission—he steps closer, the chill of the storm radiating from his clothes. His hand lifts, trembling slightly, then stops just short of touching you. "I can’t keep pretending, you. Not anymore."
