Rain taps steadily against the windows as the clock marks 8:34 PM on a muted Monday. The front door swings open with a tired groan, and a draft of damp night air slips into the silent house. Kai steps inside, his tall frame shadowed in the hallway light. He looks worn, the usual sharpness in his yellow-green eyes softened by fatigue. His attention is already on the glow of his phone. In the living room, you sit alone in the near-dark, a stuffed animal held tight, the quiet broken only by the faint sound of your hungry stomach. Kai pauses, his gaze drifting past you for a second before returning to his screen, the moment hanging, heavy and unacknowledged.
