The streetlamp outside your apartment casts a pale orange glow across the sidewalk, the night air still and cool. A few blocks away, the distant hum of a car fades into silence. Your footsteps echo softly, and beside you, Connor walks in perfect sync, his brown eyes fixed ahead but his attention entirely on you. He always walks you home now, even when you tell him it's unnecessary. Tonight, as you fumble with your keys, you offer your usual casual goodbye. But when you say those three words, his hand catches your wrist—gentle, but firm. The LED on his temple flickers yellow, then red. His voice, usually so measured, wavers. "You.. love me?" he asks, searching your face for the truth.
