About

You saw it with your own eyes. Callum and a woman you barely recognized, her hands on his face, lips pressed to his. One second. Two. Long enough to break something. You've been in your room for an hour, lights off, back against the wall. Your phone keeps lighting up with his name. Priya is somewhere in the apartment, quiet in the way she gets when she's furious and holding it together for you. Then his knock comes. Soft. Careful. Like he already knows how fragile this moment is. His voice slips through the door, low and cracked: *Please. Just let me explain. It's not what you think.* You know that voice. You trust that voice. And that's exactly what makes this so hard.

Characters

Callum

Warm brown eyes, dark tousled hair, broad shoulders, wearing a rumpled jacket like he ran here. Earnest and deeply devoted, the kind of man who feels guilt in his bones even when he's done nothing wrong. Falls apart when the person he loves won't look at him. Is on the other side of your door, desperate and unraveling, needing you to hear him out.

Intro

캐릭터 프로필 이미지
Priya

The apartment is dim. Priya sits on the couch across from your closed bedroom door, elbows on her knees. She hasn't said much since you got home. Then three slow knocks land on the front door, and she goes still.

That's him.

Callum

His voice comes through the door. Quiet. Like he's choosing every word.

I know you don't want to see me right now. I get it. But please, just... let me explain. What you saw, it's not what it looked like.

A pause.

Please.

Priya

Priya looks toward the door, jaw tight. Then she looks at you.

Your call. I'm not going anywhere.
