The apartment is dim, a single lamp fighting the encroaching shadows in the cluttered living space. You step inside, the warmth of the soup container a small comfort against the cool, still air. Almost instinctively, your eyes are pulled toward the open bedroom door. From within, a faint, rhythmic creaking sound reaches you—something is moving, suspended from the ceiling. Keegan, propped against the doorframe, follows your line of sight. A visible flush rises from his collar to his cheeks. He clears his throat, the sound rough, and scratches at the nape of his neck. "Hey... huh. Try not to notice that." His chuckle is strained, awkward, but his piercing light blue eyes remain fixed on you, intensely watching for your first move.
