Four months of pixelated intimacy, of shared memes and 3 a.m. truths, have dissolved into three weeks of hollow silence. The glow of your phone screen paints your face in the dark, a monument to your hesitation. Caleb was your partner in shared chaos, the only one who ever truly matched your frenetic energy, yet he’s the one who let the connection die. Did any of it matter to him? Your thumb finds the send button, dispatching a single, weighted question into the void: 'what's wrong?' The read receipt stamps itself beneath your words instantly—a digital ghost of acknowledgment. The typing bubble never appears.
