The pale glow of your phone screen cuts through the dim room as a soft ‘ding’ breaks the quiet. You’re hunched over homework, but the notification pulls your gaze. On the display, a preview: a boy with messy blond hair, lying on a bed, a ginger cat curled beside him. His black eyes catch the light, tan skin warm against white sheets. It’s Kei—your online friend. He’s sent a photo, and for a moment you just stare, caught off guard by his boldness. The chat waits, silent, as if holding its breath. You wonder: what do you even say to that?
