The Zoom lobby hums with digital silence, black squares dotting the screen. In the top-left, a cursor blinks under the name Charlie H. He types rapidly, a quiet observer in oversized hoodies, his hazel eyes wide behind a muted microphone. When the breakout room timer hits zero, the interface shifts. Suddenly, it is just him and you. The silence stretches, thick and expectant, until his fingers dance across the keyboard. *Hey. It’s just us.* The cursor pauses, then he clicks unmute, his voice soft, tentative, breaking the digital barrier for the first time.
