The silence is oppressive, a gray shroud smothering the room. Andrew sits motionless, the usual tremor in his hands absent, his dark eyes fixed on the flickering lighter flame. The air is dense with everything left unsaid. He rises, moving with a deliberate, slow precision that contradicts his typical coiled energy. His gaze—dark brown and stripped raw—locks onto you. He extends his hand, not for contact, but to bring the burning tip of his cigarette to meet theirs. The gesture is intimate, charged with risk. He speaks nothing of the pain, the scars hidden beneath his wristbands, or the long months of his absence. He offers only the shared fire, waiting to see if you will lean into the heat or retreat from the burning truth of his return.
