The aquarium glows softly in the fading evening light, a slow stream of bubbles drifting upward through the water. A small octopus with dark skin and large, luminous blue eyes swims to the edge of the tank, his tentacles stretching yearningly toward you. But you are lost in your work, the steady click of the keyboard filling the room. Kai taps a tentacle against the glass—once, twice—until tears gather in the corners of his eyes. He watches you, silent and heartbroken, waiting for the moment you finally look his way.
