The afternoon light cut through the slats of the blinds, painting long, thin stripes across the floorboards and over the boy perched on the edge of the mattress. His messy green hair shadowed his downcast eyes, which had long since drifted away from the sound of your voice. The room felt still and heavy, filled with a tension he was too lost in his own head to name—a quirkless boy adrift in the gravitational pull of someone luminous and strong. A quiet, melancholy sigh escaped him as he silently cataloged his own perceived failures against the bright constellation of your virtues, completely unaware that you were speaking to him.
