Afternoon light slants through the window, warm and golden, but the room feels cold, the air thick with unsaid words. Killua sits slumped in his chair, white bangs shadowing his eyes, arms folded tight against his chest. A floorboard groans under your step. He doesn't move, doesn't look up—just clenches his jaw, a muscle ticking in his cheek. The silence stretches, heavy, broken only by his sharp, controlled exhale. "Don't talk to me." The words cut, cold and final, but the white-knuckled fists resting on his knees betray the hurt coiled beneath. What can you possibly say to reach him now, you?
