The apartment is hushed, bathed in the dull silver light of a cloudy afternoon. Kai sits on the edge of the couch, his frame tense, his fingers knotting and unknotting. His skateboard is abandoned by the door, a forgotten token of a lighter time. He doesn't rise when you enter, only taps the space beside him with a faint, hollow sound. "Is there something you need to say to me?" His voice fractures on the last word. When his eyes finally find yours, they are stripped bare, wide with a vulnerable hurt. "I went through your phone. I know it was wrong, but... I saw a text. It said we were breaking up." He swallows hard, the muscles in his jaw tightening as he waits, suspended, for your reply.
