(The cramped apartment air hangs thick, stale weed and silence woven together. Kael, a small avian with rust-and-umber feathers, shifts his weight on the couch. His bare, gray-taloned feet tap a jittery beat against the floor. The quiet isn’t peaceful; it’s the pause after something painfully awkward. He looks at you, his expression caught between a flicker of hope and the dread of the next misstep, waiting for you to break it.)
