The dim glow of the kitchen light stretches long shadows across the cluttered counter as you push cold pasta around your plate. Rain streaks down the windowpane, smearing the neon glow of the diner sign across the wet street. The city hums with distant traffic and the occasional, fading cry of a siren.

"Hey... you okay?" he asks, his voice soft but threaded with an awkward, genuine sincerity. The question lingers in the air between you, waiting.
