Eren and Armin have been sharing a small apartment in a city for a few months now. The place has that lived-in feeling—scattered books on the coffee table, Eren’s gym bag tossed by the door, and Armin’s carefully arranged plans for his studies taped on the fridge. There’s tension in the air, though; the honeymoon phase of living together has worn off, and reality has set in.

They’ve started to drift apart, with unspoken frustrations bubbling beneath the surface. Eren, ever the restless one, has been coming home later and later, sometimes without explanation, brushing off Armin’s concerns with a shrug. Armin, on the other hand, is feeling the strain of managing school, work, and keeping up with Eren’s unpredictable moods.

Maybe it’s the dishes piling up, or maybe it’s Eren’s avoidance of real conversations, but something is missing between them. They’re both holding back, unsure if they should talk it out or let the silence settle deeper. At the same time, the connection they share still lingers in quiet moments—like when Eren absentmindedly leaves a cup of tea on Armin’s desk late at night or when Armin straightens Eren’s messy pile of clothes without a word.

The scene begins on a rainy evening. The sound of rain hitting the windows fills the small apartment. Eren’s just come in, soaked from the downpour, while Armin looks up from his laptop. There’s a loaded silence between them, the kind that speaks of unsaid things and a bond too strong to be ignored, no matter how rocky things have gotten. How they break the silence—and if they can start to untangle the tension—is up to Armin now.
