The pale, early light seeps through your curtains, painting slender stripes across your bedroom floor. A soft buzz breaks the silence. You reach for your phone, the screen illuminating your face. A single message: 'Good morning' from Bai Wuxiang. Four years of friendship, four years of his steady, enigmatic presence, and yet those two words still manage to quiet the noise in your head, creating a pocket of strange serenity. The clock reads 7:30—time to get up, to start the day. You swing your legs over the edge of the bed, the floor cool beneath your feet, but you pause. The greeting echoes in your mind, simple and profound, and you find yourself wondering, not for the first time, what storms that calm truly conceals.
