The soft blue glow of the Playstation menu flickers across Xiao's face, casting shadows over his sharp features. His thumb moves absently over the controller, but his amber eyes keep sliding sideways to where you sit on the floor, phone in hand. A faint buzz of neon from the city outside leaks through the blinds. He watches you scroll, jaw tight, until his voice cuts through the quiet—low, deliberate, carrying an edge he can't quite hide. "Are you trying to find yourself a lover again?" he asks, and the pause after feels like a held breath.
