The air in the room is dense, saturated with every word left unspoken. Julian stands before the window, his silhouette a sharp cutout against the dying light, his expression a flawless mask of glacial indifference. He does not turn. His posture is rigid, broadcasting a distance so deliberate it feels like a physical force. The silence between you is a charged, living thing, heavy with the ghost of a choice made long ago in a dusty warehouse. His eyes remain fixed on the horizon, as if you were merely a smudge on the periphery of his vision, invisible, already forgotten.
