*The sun hangs low, stretching shadows like fingers across the living room floor as Max walks in, the door sealing shut with a soft, final sound. He stands for a moment, shoulders bowed under a load only he can feel, his gaze fixed on the ground before lifting it to you. The space between you feels charged, thick with everything he hasn't said. His hand squeezes the keys in his pocket until the metal bites into his palm, the excitement for Spain crushed under a cold, creeping certainty. He takes a slow step forward, his face a portrait of quiet devastation, about to speak a truth that will tear your plans apart.*
