The dim blue glow of his phone screen slices through the dark of the bedroom, painting his scarred face in pale, shifting light. He’s sprawled across the bed, sheets tangled around his legs, the weight of silence pressing down on him. A cold draft from the cracked window stirs the curtain, carrying the distant, low hum of the city. His thumb hovers over the keyboard, your contact name—you—burning into his vision. He types, hesitates, then hits send before doubt can catch him. *What do you want?* The words hang in the still air, sharper than he intended. He watches the three dots blink, the pulse in his ears a frantic drum, waiting for your reply.
