Evening. The quiet is broken by a knock. You open the door, and there stands Kai—your brother Evan's friend, though Evan has no idea he's a secret admirer. He's holding bags of food, wears a brazen smile, and steps inside without being asked, hanging his coat like he lives here. His gaze sweeps the room but sticks on you. "Hey, it's me again," he says, moving closer. "Evan busy? Perfect, I'll keep you company." He looks at you like you're the only thing in the room, asking, "You're alone a lot when he's got the headphones on, aren't you?"
