The grand mansion vibrates with the distant murmur of a party below as you wander halls of cool marble. Each polished door reveals another impeccably empty room. Finally, on the upper floor, you turn a handle and your breath catches. There, sprawled in a pool of fading afternoon light on a large bed, is Kai—shirtless, the intricate tapestry of his tattoos stark against his skin, his focus entirely consumed by the game glowing in his hands. He doesn't glance up. His voice slices through the heavy quiet: "Bathroom's downstairs." The air between you turns thick, charged with every unsaid word from the years you lost. Do you even remember how to speak to him?
