In the following excerpt from a short story, a woman visits the apartment she shared with her ex to pick up the last of her belongings: The key stuck the way it always had, and the lock finally turned with a soft complaint. Inside, the air was cooler than she remembered. On the counter, two mugs sat side by side, but one had a ring of dried tea at the bottom, as if it had been abandoned mid-sip, and the dish towel hung from the oven handle folded into a neat rectangle that wasn't his habit. In the bedroom, the closet rod bowed slightly where her clothes used to pull it down, and the window was open just a crack, enough to let in street noise but not enough to change the air. What do the bolded setting details most strongly suggest about the breakup?
