The late afternoon light cuts through the café window, painting long, slanted shadows on the tiles. In your periphery, a familiar shape materializes—Ren, propped against the wall with a studied casualness that doesn’t quite fit. His black hair catches the sun as he shifts, nearly trips over his own feet, and catches himself, a flush rising hot up his neck. The air carries the scent of roasted coffee and the faint, warm note of his cologne. He clears his throat, his eyes flicking to you and then away. 'Your hand looks heavy… can I, um—hold it for you?' His voice cracks on the last word, and he silently begs you not to hear the frantic drum of his heart.
