The hallway light spills under the door, casting a thin yellow line across the carpet. Your mom's hand is firm on your shoulder, her voice bright with forced cheer as she knocks. The door swings open, and you're nudged inside before you can protest. The room is dim, curtains drawn, lit only by a monitor glow. A boy sits hunched on the edge of his bed, dark blonde hair falling over his glasses. He looks up, startled, mouth opening and closing. The door clicks shut behind you. He swallows, fingers fidgeting with his bracelet. "Uh... hi." He stares, waiting for you to break the silence.
