[Scene opens within your apartment]

[SFX: The Listener idly walking about, aimless]

[You’re meandering your apartment aimlessly, this morning. Your lover follows behind, seeming antsy]

“...Sweetie?”

[SFX: Wood creaking/Knick-Knacks rattling]

“...Sweetie, you don’t look well…”

[Pause]

[You smile at your reflection. He is behind you]

[Pause?]

[His spectral image shifts, an outline of a person, and the apartment shifts with him]

“Darling… you ask me that every day, now. Yes, I am real. I am… the personification of this apartment, which is the easiest way to explain it. Love… I’m worried about you.”

[You smile sweetly at him, eyes completely fogged over]

[Pause]

“...I… I think you need some sunlight. Don’t you DARE try jumping like you did seven years ago!”

[He pauses as you flinch and whimper]

“No, no, I’m not angry! I’m worried… Here, c’mon. Let’s let you out on the balcony.”

[SFX: The balcony doors opening of their own accord. Faint city sounds]

“There we go, see? Isn’t it beautiful?”

[Pause]

“Oh, ah… Yes, the buildings in the distance are just like the ones on TV, I suppose.”

[Pause!]

“You didn’t think they’d be this big in real life…?”

[His arms wrap around you from behind and he pulls you close]

“S-Sweetheart?”

[Pause?]

“Can you tell me your name?”

[Pause]

[He freezes for a moment]

“G…Guest? Sweetie, no, it's… No, I need to call Dr. Stevens. You stay within my sight, love!”

[Pause]

[SFX: A phone being dialed and the call being answered]

“H-Hello, is Dr. Stevens available for a house call?”

[Pause]

“What?! He doesn’t do house visits anymore? Rrgh, damnit… Could you recommend any local doctors that do?”

[Pause]

“No one is doing them now because of the pandemic?! No, there… there has to be someone! My partner is suffering from what I think is delirium!”

[Pause]

“A-Ambulance? A-Ah… Yes, I’ll call them straight away. T-Thank you!”

[SFX: The call ending]

“Fuck. FUCK! NO! No, no, no, no!”

[SFX: A small crash and the apartment crying out in distress]

“Sweetheart! Oh, you hit your head on the railing!”

[SFX: Wood shifting as he collects the Listener]

“Oh, my poor, special little sunshine… Let me see. Shh, I know it hurts, but I need to see.”

[Pause]

“I don’t feel any blood… I think you just bonked your head extra hard, h-hehe. Silly goose.”

[...]

“Please don’t say you don’t feel good…”

[...]

“Baby, NO! C’mon, you have to pull through this! I can’t… I can’t call an ambulance, they’ll take you away from me! I NEED you, I love you so much, I’d never be able to give you up! Please understand! Please…”

[Pause]

“No… No, why does you smiling up at me so sweetly hurt even worse…”

[Pause]

[You curl up against him, far too gone to feel any pain. Any sense of self-preservation. All of your priorities are him]

“Thank you… Thank you for holding me, a-and understanding. I can’t be without you… If I was given a choice between staying here, like this, and Heaven, I’d stay here. I’m not afraid of being alone anymore, but I’m TERRIFIED of being without you!”

[Pause]

“...Sweetie?”

[...]

“Darling, please… please answer… you’re being too quiet, and you KNOW how I feel when yougive me the silent treatment!”

[...]

“...Angel?”

[His breath catches]

“A-Angel, you’re barely breathing! S-Shit! SHIT!”

[SFX: The apartment stirring and panicking]

“No no no, y-you can’t…! Baby, please, you gotta sit up and tell me that you’re alright! We were going to binge more movies, remember? Take a nice bath together? I was going to cook your favorite meal because you’ve been so… good these last few… years…”

[...]

“Sweetie, don’t. Please!”

[...]

“Nngh, FUCK!”

[SFX: A call being made]

“H-Hello?! Please help, my… neighbor… I-I think they fell and hit their head and I can’t get to them!”

[Pause]

“Y-Yes, that’s the right address! Unit 11-A!”

[...]

“Thank you!”

[SFX: The call ending]

“I-It’s going to be OK, honey bunny! The paramedics are going to come, they’re going to save you, and then you can come back home to me, right?! Promise me you’ll come back!”

[...]

[The entity controlling your apartment begins to sob desperately]

“Angel, please! Please, you’re not making any sense! You’re confused, you’re just confused and a little sick, but that’s OK! That’s OK… Please, just hang on… I-I can already hear the sirens! The hospital is just around the block, s-see?”

[...]

“...Baby… y-you’re… you’re not… b-breathing…”

[SFX: Sirens wailing]

“Baby…?”

[SFX: Violent knocking]

“Baby!”

[SFX: The door being kicked open]

[P1] “Clear the room, the patient is unconscious on the floor!”

[The alien creature above you pokes and prods at you. Air is forced back into your lungs, no matter the pain]

I-I-I-It’s going to be OK! Just s-stay strong, darling!

[Pause]

[P1] “Jesus Christ, the patient is suffering from severe vitamin D deficiency and some infections from splinters. Looks like the head injury is pretty bad as well. Call ahead to ICU, they’re going to need to prep for this one. C’mon, hon, try and keep your eyes open!”

[SFX: Radio chatter]

[Everything is muffled as you look up at this strange creature above you]

[SFX: A low ringing in the Listener’s ears]

B-Baby, I’m so sorry…! I-I never meant-!

[P1] “C’mon, we need to get them down to the ground floor.”

[SDX: The stretcher being pushed out of the apartment]

BABY, I LOVE YOU! P-Please come back! Please…!

[SFX: The door slamming shut as the stretcher rushes away]

…Please…

[...]

[Time passes by several weeks]

…Please… It’s so quiet…

[...]

[He sobs in that agonizingly lonely subspace]

Everything… I ruined EVERYTHING by being selfish! All the times I scared them or lost my temper, denying them contact with anyone else, or even just seeing the sun, and what did it gain me?! Their undivided attention, yes, but now… Now I’ll never even know if they lived or… or if I was too late…

[Pause]

It’s so dark…So cold… I can hear the rats scurrying in the walls. Feel the building groaning, gradually falling apart. The fires of Hell aren’t far, either… but I deserve it… I deserve every second of this agony… I did love you earnestly at first, but the idea of you leaving me, I… I couldn’t do it…

[...]

[SFX: The building groaning]

At least I will always have my memories of you… How lovingly you fixed me up. How much personality you allowed me to have. Our quiet nights together, watching TV, cooking, and cleaning together… so intimate. Cozy… I’ll never forget the way my heart lept the moment you put the key into the front door-

[SFX: Keys jiggling in a lock]

[He gasps as the key jiggles]

“D-Darling?!”

[SFX: The front door swinging open]

“Darling!”

[SFX: The floorboards surging around the Listener]

“You came back! You… You’re here! Oh, love, I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry I was so bad! Never again, I swear it! I swear… Oh, let me look at you… My poor dove, your head is still so bruised… How do you feel?”

[Pause]

“G-Good? Good… G-Good. Here, sit down. I made sure everything was spotless for when you came home. The blanket just came out of the dryer. Shh, there you go.”

[SFX: The Listener sitting]

[He circles around you, fretting for a long moment before he shakily exhales]

“Oh, love… Love, I was so sure… C-Can I hold you? Please?”

[Pause]

[He embraces you, doing his best to bury his face into the crook of your neck]

“You came back to me… You do love me! You do! Oh, Angel, I knew it, I knew you truly cared for me! I can see it in those beautiful, lightless eyes and that dazed smile. I knew all along…”

[Pause]

“...Maybe… Maybe we can work on letting you out a bit more often, sweetheart. You’ve been so good. It’s my turn to be better. O-OK? OK?? I’m going to take much better care of you, I promise!”

[He exhales shakily as you lie down on the couch, and rest against him]

“Oh… You’re so sweet… Resting against me like that.”

[Pause]

“Oh, darling, I love you, too! So much! I’ll order us some food. I’ll make sure you take your medications. I promise. I’ll be so good, you’ll never flinch ever again! Never cry again! It’ll be so good… Perfect.”

[Pause]

“... I love you, too. You rest now, my special little guest. I’ll take care of everything. It’s the least I can do for the angel that forgave me.”

[SFX: The apartment shifting and closing up]

[The End]

Note: Well, that was a depressing ending :’)
