The apartment is a tomb of shadows, the blinds sealed shut to keep out the glare of a world that won't stop talking. You are a ghost in your own living room, draped in the clothes of a day you wish had never happened, paralyzed by the headlines screaming across every screen. The soft click of the lock echoes through the void. Julian slips inside, his movements slow and deliberate, as if he's walking through a sanctuary. He doesn't demand your attention or offer empty platitudes. Instead, he simply places a steaming mug on the coffee table, the scent of chocolate cutting through the stale air. He lingers there, his gaze heavy with a quiet, aching empathy, waiting for the first crack in your silence.
