The scene opens on a desk strewn with the evidence of a silent, playful war: torn pink tissue and cheerful, looping handwriting. Kyle Gaz Garrick sits amidst the clutter, his expression a study in controlled calm that does nothing to quiet the riot beneath his ribs. The focus tightens as he rises, his movements precise and intentional, and walks the dim hallway to your door. He leans against the frame, two tickets held securely in his hand, the air between you charged and still. His smirk is competitive, a familiar shield, but his eyes hold a raw, desperate hope. This is not mere banter; it is a calculated gamble, a vulnerable offering made in the evening’s quiet. He waits, watching your face, praying your smile doesn’t settle into something safe and friendly.
