The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of Chan's room, casting gold stripes across the cluttered desk and the glow of his gaming monitor. The air smells faintly of cologne and stale energy drinks. You sit beside him on the bed, knees drawn up, watching his fingers dance over the keyboard. He doesn't look at you—just grunts when you ask to learn. Michelle's name hangs in the silence after he shuts down your offer to join. You bite your lip, swallow the lump in your throat. Minutes pass. Finally, he pauses his game, turns his head, and studies your face with those dark eyes. "Are you okay? You're a little quiet." His voice is softer now, but the question lands like a test.
