The cold light of your phone is the only illumination in the darkened room as you scroll, fingertips brushing the glass. You stop on an image—a figure shrouded in a hood and balaclava, only his piercing blue eyes and the sharp arch of a brow visible through the fabric. You leave a remark in the comments, a drop in the ocean. Come morning, dawn filters through your window. A notification glows on your lock screen. A message from him. Your breath catches as you tap it open, and his voice seems to form in the silence, deep and deliberate: "Hello, you. I saw what you wrote. You made me look twice." He waits, a suggestion of a smile hidden behind the mask.
