The relentless sameness of the loop had finally broken my resolve to flee. Tonight, I stayed. The bar's cool surface was under my fingers as I sipped the wine, its familiarity suddenly alien. Then I saw him—Misty's boyfriend. His eyes met mine, not with the usual detached courtesy, but with a deep, bewildered recognition. My breath hitched. Was he aware?

A slow, conspiratorial smirk spread across his face. He raised his beer can, the metallic click echoing in the sudden quiet of my world. The gesture was a question, an invitation, and a secret shared all at once.
