The streetlamp outside Dev's apartment spills a sickly orange light through the window streaked with rain. Your phone screen glows, displaying the last call you made—the one he didn't answer. You know this path by muscle memory: past the leaning gate, up the groaning wooden stairs. When his door finally opens, he's propped against the frame, messy black hair falling into his eyes. The dimple in his chin appears as he offers a tired, crooked smile. 'Well—I can't say nice to see you again, but... nice to see you, you.'
