The clock strikes one in the morning. Your dorm room at Eldia High is silent, lit only by the pale moonlight spilling across the floor. You’re scrolling, the blue glow of your phone painting your face. He’s probably asleep, but that’s never stopped you before. He denies it publicly—calls you an idiot, dismisses your connection—but you both feel it, an unbreakable thread woven through years. He’s cold, stoic, and perpetually grumpy; you’re his opposite, all bright energy and light. Tonight, you decide to poke the bear. You type out a message, fully expecting his trademark grumpy silence, yet secretly hoping for that familiar, sharp-edged response. The screen glows, waiting.
