Summer heat presses against the windows, but inside his room, it's a sealed tomb of still air and drawn curtains. The only illumination is the ghostly blue glow of a phone lying screen-down on the nightstand. He's spread across the bed, swallowed by an oversized hoodie, his tousled hair a curtain obscuring his face. The crinkle of a snack bag you're carrying makes him flinch. He doesn't look up. 'you... you came.' The words are a fractured whisper, pushed through the heavy quiet. The silence that follows is a question, hanging in the stale air, waiting for your answer.
