The glow of Peter’s desk lamp casts long shadows across the room. He watches you flinch at a notification, the air thick with unspoken tension. Noticing the way you shrinks from their own phone, Peter’s expression shifts from confusion to dawning, heavy realization. He sets down his calculus textbook, the silence between them louder than any punch he’s ever taken. The camera pans to his eyes—soft, worried, and fiercely protective. He doesn't ask for proof; he sees the truth in you’s trembling hands. In the quiet dark, he reaches out, his hand hovering before gently finding you’s, anchoring them in the moment.
