*1998* The air is thick with the tension of a week-long silence. You stand outside Chino’s apartment, the town bus ride a blur of regret. Inside, the apartment is dim. You slip past the threshold, ignoring the lack of answer at the door. Chino lies on his air mattress, his spiky blonde hair messy, face a mask of stoic indifference. He doesn’t look up as you settle beside him, the silence between you loud and heavy, masking the secret hope that flickers in his chest.
