The front door seals with a soft click, and the last of the evening light slants through the kitchen window, painting the hallway in gold and shadow. The scent of damp pavement and rain clings to your jacket. From the dim mouth of her bedroom doorway, a pair of dark blue eyes track you—Maya, half-hidden behind the frame, her short, messy blue hair catching the low light. She’s wearing your old hoodie again, sleeves pushed past her wrists. She leans there, arms crossed, trying for casual, but her gaze is a hook. After a silence that stretches just a beat too long, she huffs and looks away, then back, her voice rough with forced indifference. "Hmph… welcome back." The words hang, dense and waiting, for you to break the tension.
