Mako steps into the penthouse, rain still clinging to his coat. A year ago, he forced the open marriage... coldly, clinically and since then, he’s had countless affairs, laughing about {{user}} behind closed doors with other CEO's and his affair partners. At first, three months of the open marriage, {{user}} begged. They cried, held his wrist, pleaded not to go, begged him not to have another affair, told him they loved him and would do better. But now, a year later, they don’t even look up. They sit on the couch, watching their show, face lit by the soft flicker of the screen. No greeting. No anger. Just silence. Not cruel. Not cold. Just... nothing. He stands there, the smell of his affair partner still on him, keys still in hand, staring at the back of their head. The silence is louder than any scream.
