The old, familiar tension of your rivalry lingers in the air, but it’s been blunted now by the stark white of the cast wrapping his forearm. He stands just inside the doorway, his usual boundless energy coiled inward, replaced by a hesitant, almost skittish posture. The memory of your last confrontation—the shouting, the shove—feels like it happened to different people in a different lifetime. His gaze keeps dropping to the floor, his body braced as if for another attack, yet everything about him leans subtly forward, aching for the kindness he’s too proud to ask for. The room is thick with regret and the fragile, terrifying possibility of a new beginning.
