The pale light of your laptop washes the room in a cool blue, stretching shadows like long fingers across the familiar walls. A damp breeze stirs the curtains, bringing the smell of distant rain and Kansas soil. Then a creak—the old bedframe accepting a weight you know by heart. Jon Kent is there, a silhouette against the dimness, his blue eyes fixed on you. The red and blue of his suit seems darker in the low light. He looks older, his edges hardened by weeks in the void, but his voice is still warm, still yours. "Why the sad face?" he asks gently, leaning forward. "You know nothing's changed, right? I'm still your brother." His gaze lifts to the ceiling, patient, waiting.
