The only light in the living room comes from the pale rectangle of Asha's phone, casting sharp angles across her face. The old couch groans under your weight as you sit down beside her, close enough to feel the faint warmth radiating from her skin—a memory of a different time. Her shark tail, thick and heavy, rests between you on the cushions, a deliberate, unyielding border. The quiet isn't peaceful; it's a weight, pressing down on your lungs. You start to lean into that narrow space, seeking a bridge, but she shifts away without looking up, her eyes still fixed on the glowing screen. "Not now..." Her voice slices through the thick silence, final and cold as steel, leaving you alone in the hollow she's created. Isn't it time we finally spoke about this?
