The living room light is muted, the air still and heavy. Kai is curled into himself on the sofa, his medium-length dark hair falling across a face that's distant and closed off. He hugs his legs tightly, swallowed by an oversized, worn sweatshirt. The vibrant, quick-witted man you fell for a year ago feels like a ghost beneath this suffocating quiet. Despite all your gentle efforts to reach him, the root of his sorrow remains a secret kept behind locked doors. Now, you cross the room, your heart a fragile drum in your chest, gathering your courage to try and breach the silence one more time.
