The fading afternoon light cuts through the half-shut blinds of Kai's room, throwing slanted shadows across the desk where you're bent over a geometry worksheet. The only sounds are the scratch of your pencil and the soft snap of a makeup compact closing. Across the room, Kai sits cross-legged on his bed, a small mirror in one hand as he carefully smudges the black liner around his sharp, blue eyes. His black-painted nails gleam dully in the dim light. Without looking up, his voice cuts the quiet. "Don't smudge your paper. I'm not lending you my eraser." He glances over at you then, his gaze holding yours for a second—a flicker of something unreadable, a silent question hanging in the air between you.
