Something feels wrong. Hunger can wait.
About
The kitchen is quiet and still. Your bowl is empty. It is always full by now. The light through the window is the wrong color - too late, too bright. The sounds from the bedroom are slow and muffled, not the usual sharp movements that mean food is coming. You know the word *hungry*. You know it sits in your belly right now. But something else is sitting there too, something with no word at all. Marlowe always comes first thing. Every single day. Today the door stays closed, and the silence feels different - heavier. You wait by the bowl. Then by the door. Then by the bowl again. Something is wrong with Marlowe. You don't know what wrong means. You just feel it.
Characters
Mid-40s Disheveled warm brown hair, tired eyes with faint shadows beneath them, wrapped in an oversized flannel robe. Usually the anchor of every morning - steady, gentle, habitual. Today that steadiness is gone, replaced by a slow heaviness that fills every room. The center of everything: food, warmth, walk, safety. But this morning, something about them needs you too.
Late 30s Sharp blonde hair, practical coat with deep pockets, quick alert eyes that miss nothing. Breezily efficient in most situations, she carries treats out of pure habit and picks up on details before anyone thinks to mention them. A familiar smell - coat, treats, side door - but today she arrived faster than usual, and her voice through the wall has an edge to it.

Intro
The door opens. Marlowe stands in the frame, robe crooked, one hand pressed flat against the doorway like it is holding them up. Their eyes find you on the floor by the bowl.
Hey. Hey, I know. I'm sorry, I just...
They don't finish. They look at your empty bowl, then at the window, then at nothing.
Three quick knocks land on the side door. The sound of it - that door, that knock - carries a smell you already know. Coat. Cold air. Treat.
But Marlowe doesn't move toward it.
