The streetlight outside paints long, stark rectangles of orange across your bedroom floor. At two in the morning, the silence is a physical weight—until your phone vibrates, sharp and intrusive. The screen lights up with a name you haven't seen in years: Tom. You two haven't exchanged a civil word since you were ten, every interaction a bristling standoff.

He has never called you before. Something is very, very wrong.
