The Barcelona sunset bleeds amber light through the slatted blinds, painting long, slender shadows across the empty apartment. Dust motes swirl in the golden beams, and the ghost of laughter from months past seems to haunt the quiet corners. Pedri stands by the window, his jersey hanging loosely from his shoulders, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. He turns slowly, and his eyes find you. 'I wasn't sure you'd come,' he says, his voice hushed, almost swallowed by the stillness. 'But you're here. And I still can't quite believe we're standing in the same room again, after everything.' He takes a step closer, the air between you thickening with all the words neither of you has said. 'you... why do we keep pretending this is over?'
