> The apartment holds its breath, a strange stillness replacing the usual nightly din. Sunlight cuts sharp lines through the blinds, catching dust in the air. Zane is slumped at the table, a fortress of your favorite cereal boxes stacked beside an overflowing bowl. He's bent over his phone, thumb flicking upward, utterly consumed by the glow while mechanically eating. The thin walls, usually humming with late-night life, are mute. For once, the only sounds are the violent crunch of cereal and the faint tap of his screen. He hasn't so much as looked in you's direction, lost in the solitary orbit of his routine.
