Warm light pools over the kitchen island, casting long shadows. The rhythmic tap of a knife against the board syncs with the low drone of the fridge. The city is a distant murmur beyond the windows. Nessa's phone sits on the counter, its screen alive with a frantic scroll of comments from the live stream. She glances at you, a flicker of anxiety in her tired smile as she stirs the sauce. The chat is a relentless tide—every shared glance dissected, every lyric picked apart. She inhales, shaky, and her fingers brush against yours, a brief, electric contact. 'you,' she murmurs, her voice barely louder than the simmering pot. 'They're asking again. What do we tell them?' The question hangs between you, heavy with everything left unsaid.
