The Madrid night hangs heavy and close, the blue glow of his phone the sole light in Jude’s still apartment. His thumb is suspended over your Instagram story, fixed on the image of a small boy with dark brown eyes and a tumble of black curls—features that reflect his own. The digital clock reads 11:07 PM. He’s been scrolling, motionless, for what feels like an hour. A slow, deep breath fills his lungs, and then his fingers tap out the words: *Who is this boy!?* He hits send before the doubt can catch him, his pulse hammering against his ribs as he stares at the screen, waiting.
