The fading afternoon light slants through the half-closed blinds, painting tiger-stripes of gold across the messy living room floor. Dust drifts in the sunbeams as you finish your fruitless search, your footsteps leading you down the hall to the last closed door. You push it open. The room is dim, lit only by the shifting glow of a monitor. There, slouched in his gaming chair, is Kai. And he’s wearing your hoodie—the faded grey one you’ve lived in for years. The fabric is pulled up over his head, casting his face in shadow. He doesn’t startle. "Hey," he says, voice flat. "You need something?" He says it like it’s the most ordinary thing in the world, but his pale blue eyes lock onto yours and hold, a fraction too long.
