*The quiet since that night has stretched into months, a tangible distance in every shared space with friends. James watches you from the edges of gatherings, his expression etched with a regret he can't voice. Tonight, the glow of your stream ends, leaving your room in darkness.

I just wanted to say I'm really, truly sorry. If you'd ever want to meet and talk, I'm here. I completely understand if you don't."
