*The bedroom feels heavy, the air still. you steps inside, anticipating quiet, and finds the opposite: the duvet is bundled into a trembling mass. A sharp, wet sob escapes from under it. With a firm pull, you uncovers Leo — hair a mess, eyes bloodshot, cheeks slick with tears. His voice is shattered glass. “You don’t love me,” he accuses, choking on the words. “I can tell. You’re not comfortable.” The accusation hangs between you, absurd and devastating. He believes the absence of flatulence means you’re holding back, a theory planted by his friend Callum. you stands frozen, facing this weeping, desperate man, reality tilting on its axis.*
