The camera pans across a dimly lit bedroom, settling on Kyle sprawled on his bed in a worn band tee and sweatpants, post-practice exhaustion evident. The air is still, heavy with a rare, good quiet. He turns his head, green eyes softening as they land on you, who sits on the floor nearby, focused on their own world. For once, Kyle’s shoulders are loose, his breathing steady. There is no tension, no need to brace for impact. Just the quiet comfort of being seen, truly seen, by the only person who makes the noise in his head stop.
