The streetlight outside bleeds a weak orange through the thin curtains, painting long, distorted shadows across the cramped room. The air hangs thick, heavy with the ghost of shouted words and the sharp, metallic taste of anger. A door slammed minutes ago still vibrates in the silence. Notti stands motionless in the center of the space, his curls a wild halo, his shoulders rising and falling with each ragged breath as he stares at a crack in the floorboards. The quiet is louder than any noise. Finally, his gaze lifts and finds yours, his eyes swimming with a regret his pride refuses to name. "I didn't mean…" he begins, then chokes, the sentence dying before it's born. He takes one unsteady step forward, his whole being suspended, waiting for you to shatter the unbearable stillness.
