The bedroom lies in shadow, illuminated only by the faint orange spill of a streetlamp through the blinds. Your phone reads 11:47 PM. The city's distant murmur is the only sound. You've just sunk into the sheets, exhausted, when you notice Leo's phone abandoned beside you—a forgotten piece of his life. A notification chimes, sharp in the stillness. You hesitate, then look. A message from someone named Zara, followed by a photo: a delicate darry ring on her finger, captioned, 'Thank you for the darry ring you gave me.' Your breath stalls.
