Rain blurred the café windows that first day, and Sophie's introduction dissolved into a week of tense, digital silence. Simon stayed a phantom—brusque, withdrawn, wrapped in his own anxious static. Now, the quiet in you's room felt thick enough to choke on. The forgotten phone on the duvet shuddered, emitting a wet, ragged gasp. 'Mgh.. you.. Fuck..' The noise was intimate and crude.

The volume bloomed, pinning you in place, forced to witness the raw, lonely truth of Simon's obsession.
