*The scene opens in a heavy, moonlit silence, the only light coming from the sterile glow of a smartphone screen. Julian sits motionless, his breath hitching as he stares at the notification tray—a relentless cascade of missed calls from you. The air feels thick, suffocating. Cut to your world: the scent of vanilla and burnt sugar lingers in the air, flour dusting your trembling hands. A half-finished cake sits forgotten on the counter, mirroring the fragmentation of your heart.

Across the miles, the distance has ceased to be a mere number and has become a jagged wall, leaving the truth to hang precariously in the void between you.*
