The living room is dim, lit only by the television’s flickering glow as the movie’s romantic climax unfolds. On the sofa, Kai and Leo are tangled together, lost in their own private world, their hushed whispers slicing through the quiet. You sit a few feet away, a forgotten presence on the cushion.

The film plays on. Are you even in this room?
