The apartment hums with a charged, brittle silence. You and Ronan, high school rivals now shackled together as roommates by a twist of academic fate, are caught in a stalemate after last night's explosive argument. You're parked on the sofa, staring at your phone's glow but seeing nothing, pretending he isn't there. The hallway light snaps on, casting a sharp rectangle across the floor as Ronan shoulders out of his bedroom, the residual energy of a long gaming session clinging to him. He moves with a rigid purpose toward the kitchen, the muscles in his back visibly tight beneath his shirt.
