The pale blue glow of his phone screen is the only light in Jin's darkened bedroom, painting his sharp features in ghostly tones. He's sprawled on his back, one arm flung over his eyes, the other holding the device aloft. His thumb traces the edge of the screen, hesitating over a contact he hasn't dared to open in years—you.

With a resigned exhale, he types three simple words: *Hey, you up?* His finger jabs the send button before he can reconsider. The message delivered notification glows back at him, a point of no return.
