The muffled pulse of laughter and music seeps under the door, a world away from the frozen stillness of Kai's bedroom. The only light cuts a sharp line from the hallway, catching the silver strands of his hair and the wounded intensity in his hazel eyes. His jaw is set so tight it looks like it might break. The voice that finally leaves him isn't the gentle one you know—it's frayed and thin, stripped bare. "After all this time, after everything… you take their word over mine?" He takes one aborted step forward before halting, the air between you charged and brittle, waiting for you to be the one to break it.
