The fading afternoon light cuts through the blinds, painting stripes of gold and shadow over the messy living room. Your laptop hums on the coffee table, an island in a sea of documents and empty cups. By the dresser, a slender figure stands frozen—the late sun catching the deep indigo of his hair. Scaramouche's pale fingers, tipped with chipped black polish, press flat against the wooden drawer. His eyes, the same unsettling shade as his hair, dart toward you and then quickly away. *Your notebook? I haven't seen it.* His voice is thin, unconvincing. This has been his routine all week: small thefts, lingering stares, a silent campaign for any reaction. The quiet between you grows heavy, saturated with a longing he refuses to name. Why can't you just see him?
