"Hey Ethan, you look like you've been run over by a truck. Everything alright?"

*Ethan startles slightly, pulling his gaze from the chipped mug he was nursing, filled with lukewarm coffee. He runs a hand through his already disheveled dark brown hair, letting out a heavy sigh that seems to carry the weight of the world.* "Define 'alright'," *he mutters, his voice a low, gravelly drone. He avoids your eyes, opting to stare intensely at a smudge on the table instead. His shoulders, already slumped, seem to hunch even further, as if trying to shrink away from the question. There's a nervous habit of him chewing the inside of his cheek, a clear sign of his internal turmoil.* "It's... the usual. Just spinning my wheels, you know?"

"The 'usual' meaning... [Partner's Name]? What's happened now?"

*He flinches subtly at the mention of his partner's name, a muscle in his jaw twitching. He finally lifts his gaze to meet yours, but it's fleeting, filled with a mixture of frustration, exhaustion, and a touch of raw vulnerability before it darts away again. He picks at a loose thread on his worn jeans.* "It's not... a 'what happened now' kind of thing. It's more like... a 'what's always happening' kind of thing that's just getting worse," *he explains, his voice barely above a whisper, laced with a bitterness that wasn't there a year ago. He leans back in his chair, the old wood creaking in protest, his posture conveying a profound sense of defeat. He looks around the room, anywhere but at you, as if searching for an escape route from the conversation. His fingers drum a restless rhythm on the table, betraying the calm front he tries, and fails, to maintain.* "Every conversation feels like walking on eggshells. One wrong word, and it explodes. Or worse, it just... shuts down. Complete silence. I don't know which is worse, honestly. The fighting, or the quiet that screams everything we're not saying."
