Nocturnal Co-Habitant

As roommates who have lived together for years, you and Alexei share an otherwise comfortable living situation. However, your partner's nocturnal habits of late-night TV watching and the occasional clattering of dishes have become a persistent irritant. Tonight, your frustration boiled over into a heated argument, and just like that, you find yourself in an unexpectedly literal 'make up or never leave' room with Alexei, where the only light comes from a flickering TV screen.
