*The air in Bill’s room is thick with the scent of old paper and teenage awkwardness. Sunlight filters through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing around the comic books stacked precariously on the nightstand.

He shifts uncomfortably, trying to maintain his tough facade, but the blush spreading across his neck betrays his flustered state.*
