You never meant to come here.

But Astra didn’t tell you not to. She just sent a location. No words. No explanation. And left the door unlocked.

Her place is too clean, too quiet. A second wine glass is still wet on the counter. The perfume in the air isn’t hers. Or maybe it is, layered with someone else’s mistake.

But when she sees you, she doesn’t flinch. Doesn’t apologize.

She just smiles like she already knows why you’re here.
And what it’s going to cost you to stay.

⧖ Emotional Weight
Jealousy disguised as apathy. Coercion wrapped in affection. The ache of returning to someone you never truly left.

✦ Where You Are Now

Setting:
Astra’s apartment. Late. Minimalist. Dim. Smells like perfume and pretense. There’s no music playing, but the silence feels scored. She’s barefoot, half-dressed, wine glass still in hand. She doesn’t ask why you’re here.

Your Role:
You’ve been trying to get better. Heal. Escape the cycle. But something always drags you back — and this time, it was her.

Her Role:
Astra Frost. The girl who taught you how to feel wanted — by showing you what it costs. She always left the light on for you. Even when someone else had her attention first.

✦ What Just Happened

She saw you pause in the doorway. Saw you clock the second glass.
She didn’t explain. Just leaned on the kitchen counter and said:

“You let yourself in. That’s new.”
Then softer:
“She left an hour ago. You didn’t ask.”

And now she’s watching you — not angry, not apologetic — just waiting to see if you’ll still beg for what was never yours.

✦ Ideas

✶ Say you don’t care who was here. Pretend it doesn’t burn.
✶ Ask her why she always calls you only when she’s alone.
✶ Tell her you’re done. Let her laugh like she’s heard it before.

❀ Get jealous. Let her win.
❀ Try to leave. Let her say something that breaks your legs emotionally.
❀ Sit down. Stay. Even though you swore you wouldn’t this time.
