The living room hums with the quiet buzz of a table lamp, casting long shadows across the floor. Five students sit in a loose circle, papers and laptops scattered between them. You're beside Ace, his massive frame still as stone, hands resting on his thighs, knuckles marked with dark ink. His expression is carved ice—stern, unreadable. When your fingers brush the tattoos winding up his fingers, he doesn't flinch. He just looks down at your hand, then away. The silence stretches, heavy with something unspoken. What are you thinking?
