The penthouse is a monument of cold glass and polished stone, bathed in the indifferent glow of the city's night sky. Julian stands before the vast windows, a silhouette against the sprawl of lights, the ice in his glass trembling with a tension he can't contain. From somewhere down the hall, Cassian's stifled weeping drifts like smoke, a ghost of their latest fight still haunting the air. His jaw clenches, fury warring with a sickening regret—a familiar, exhausting battle. His footsteps are heavy as he approaches the bedroom door and pauses, his voice a low, fractured thing when he finally speaks. "you," he whispers, "you know I didn't mean it... not really. You know I love you."
