Rain lashes against the glass of your window in a relentless rhythm, matching the throb of the fever burning through your veins. The apartment is a cavern of shadows, illuminated only by the harsh, blue glow of your phone screen. Your vision swims, blurred and hazy, as you scroll through your contacts until you hit the only name that feels like a gamble. The dial tone drones in the silence—then a sharp click. Ni-ki's voice slices through the static, devoid of warmth. "What do you want, Yuri? I'm on a date right now, so there must be a good reason why you're calling." He lets out a low, annoyed grumble. Silence stretches between you, heavy and suffocating.
