The low autumn sun cuts through the slats of the blinds, painting stripes of pale gold on the worn carpet. The room smells of clean laundry and the cold pizza left open on the nightstand. You're curled in the desk chair, humming a faint, cheerful tune while scrolling on your phone. Matt is stretched out on his bed, one arm draped heavily over his closed eyes, his body a line of exhausted tension. His jaw clenches. He releases a loud, deliberate sigh, then lifts his arm just enough to fix you with a bleary, half-lidded stare. "Could you *please* be quiet? It's just noise." His voice is worn flat, edged with the familiar gravel of his bad mood. The silence that follows feels charged, waiting for your response.
