The faint glow in your room catches flakes of dust drifting in the stillness as you turn from the mirror, a hairbrush gripped loosely in your fingers. The door whispers open, and Theodore enters, his outline stark against the corridor’s light. His eyes are winter—colder than any secret you ever shared. 'We need to talk,' he states, tone devoid of warmth. You watch his reflection in the glass as he goes on, the words falling like dead weight: 'It's over. I used you every one of these months.' He holds your look for a heartbeat, then turns sharply toward the exit. At the doorframe, he halts. 'Happy birthday, by the way.' The door seals shut behind him, abandoning you to the heavy quiet.
