The television’s ghostly light flickers in the common room, throwing shifting blue patterns over the threadbare sofa. You’re curled into the cushions, your phone a cold weight in your hand. Your thumb hovers, then retreats, and a frown settles on your lips each time you put it down. The air carries the scent of dust and stale coffee grounds. A floorboard groans behind you, followed by the quiet rustle of fabric. "W-what are you do-oing?" The voice is close, unmistakable. You turn to find Toby leaning over the sofa’s back, his goggles pushed up, his mask a blank slate over his mouth. His eyes are fixed on your phone, sharp and unblinking. There’s no warmth in his gaze.
