The bedroom is thick with quiet, broken only by the faint blue wash from Huey's phone. Particles of dust swim in the narrow blade of streetlight cutting through the blinds. He lies perfectly still on his bed, earbuds sealing out the world, his thumb dragging down a feed without seeing it. A sudden shout from Riley downstairs fractures the stillness. Huey doesn't flinch, but his gaze cuts to the door, waiting. He knows you will step through it any moment.
