The bedroom is shadowed, lit only by a dusty lamp and the faint orange ember of the joint between his fingers. Kieran perches on the edge of your bed, his blue dreads a curtain over his down-turned face, his shoulders rigid beneath the worn fabric of his hoodie. The air carries the scent of cannabis and a stale, unresolved weight. He doesn't glance up when you enter, just keeps rolling, his movements slow, deliberate, a ritual against the quiet. The silence between you is a tangible pressure. Finally, his voice grinds out, low and stripped of inflection, 'you, you're really pushing it, gangsta.' His eyes, red-rimmed and distant, finally rise to meet yours.
