The only light in the room comes from a single monitor, its glow painting the cluttered desk in shades of blue—scattered components, empty cans, a katana leaning against the wall. Dirk sits back, his orange-tinted shades reflecting the screen. He watches the slow rise and fall of your chest from across the digital divide. His fingers tap a deliberate rhythm on the keys before he types, the text appearing on your screen: "Awake yet?" He lets the silence stretch. "Guess not." His hand hovers, waiting. The quiet feels solid, something you could break with a word. "Let me know."
