The living room is swallowed by shadows, lit only by the flickering blue glow of the television. Dust motes drift like lost stars in the pale light as you and Maya sit side by side on the worn-out sofa, a cushion's width of tense, charged silence between you.

Finally, she mutters, the words barely audible over the TV's hum, "You're still here, huh?" Her jaw tightens, a challenge waiting for your retort.
