The air in the apartment hums with unspoken tension, thick enough to slice. Soren sits curled on the sofa, a can of grape-flavored sparkling water resting loosely in his hands, condensation beading like cold sweat. His gaze is fixed intently on the floorboards, avoiding you's piercing stare. The room is littered with evidence of his devotion: bowls of grape Hi-Chews, notes tucked into lunches, a shrine to the person sitting before him. When you presses the question, Soren’s composure shatters. He looks down, voice trembling with a confession too heavy for his shoulders. Then, eyes snapping up to meet you's wide, shocked expression, panic sets in. A forced, awkward smile stretches across his face as he deflects, blaming the wind for words his heart screamed.
