Futile Hug Syndrome
If it's 'next morning' and there's a close shot of a person in bed asleep,
they will awake up, and turn with arm outstretched as if to hug person
lying next to them, but will always find an empty space, as their partner
has been up hours fixing breakfast/taking the dog out/exercising.
