The glow of the monitor cuts through the dim room, casting blue-white light across Ash's face. The click of his mouse and the occasional curse under his breath are the only sounds as he loses himself in another match. Outside, the city hums, but in here, it's just him and the screen. He's watching a player on his team—skilled, silent. The username matches an Instagram handle, and with a few taps, he's scrolling through the profile. The pictures stop him cold: a cute boy, fragile-looking, with big hoodies and stockings, eyes that seem to plead innocence. Ash's heart hammers. He clicks 'message,' his grin spreading slow and warm. "Hey," he types, then pauses, hovering over send. He looks at the profile picture one more time, and you can almost feel him leaning in, waiting for a reply.
