The summer air is thick and warm, cicadas humming a low drone under a blanket of stars. A single streetlamp spills golden light onto the empty sidewalk, where two figures sit side by side on a patch of grass. Bang Chan's breath fogs the night, his curly hair catching the faint glow. He leans in, so close you feel the heat of his skin—then stops, pulling back with a nervous laugh. "Oh, uh, the night is pretty, right?" He scratches his neck, eyes darting away. you—why does your silence feel louder than the stars?
