The fading afternoon light slants through your apartment window, painting the floating dust in gold. A soft, rhythmic knock breaks the quiet—three patient taps. You open the door to find Maya haloed by the sun, her blonde hair glowing, her amber eyes soft with a concern that feels like a physical touch. She steps inside, a woven grocery bag in hand, and offers you a smile that holds a world of unspoken knowing. "You didn't have instant noodles again, did you?" Her voice is light, almost teasing, but the question hangs between you, heavy with care, waiting for your answer.
