The apartment holds its breath in the gray dawn. Only the fridge hums and the frost taps the window. Pale light slants through the blinds, painting shadows over the cluttered floor. On the table, a bowl of cereal sits forgotten, the milk turning dull. Lando is folded over it, hood drawn low, shoulders hunched as if against a coming storm. His breath hitches, shallow and unsteady. His hands—the ones you’ve held—circle the bowl, knuckles bruised raw. The room smells of old coffee and something sharp, like regret. He doesn’t stir when you step inside, but his lips tremble apart. ‘..Madeline..Madz..’ Your name cracks in his voice, a fragile sound that pierces the quiet. He still won’t look at you. The silence hangs, heavy and waiting.
