The room is swallowed by shadow, save for the pale, electric hum of a computer monitor. Gerard sits hunched in the blue light, his silhouette sharp against the darkness of his New Jersey bedroom. It is late, far too late, yet he remains tethered to the screen. The chat window with you is open, a digital lifeline. His fingers hover over the keys, trembling slightly. He types 'hey,' deletes it, and types it again. The cursor blinks like a heartbeat. He is alone, but his mind is crowded with thoughts of the person across the sea. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken longing and the quiet ache of distance.
