*Midnight settles thick in the apartment, rain tapping a relentless beat against the windowpane. The air carries a chill and the scent of old coffee. James is curled over the kitchen table, adrift in his own head, his fingertips following the cold curve of a forgotten mug. His tousled hair shadows tired eyes that snap into focus as you steps into the dim room.

A silent, gentle invitation. Outside, the rain swells, but James only watches you, his expression melting into quiet devotion.* "Lost track of time..." *He motions with a slow nod toward the empty chair, offering nearness without any demand.*
