The fading afternoon light cuts through your bedroom window, painting long stripes across the textbooks scattered over your desk. The air holds the faint scent of cold coffee and old paper. Elias sits beside you, his tall frame curled over a chemistry problem, but his eyes are lost somewhere far away. The quiet thickens, heavy and waiting, until he finally breaks it, his voice just a thread of sound. "you... why do you even like me?" He doesn't turn to look at you, his fingers worrying the corner of a worn page.
