The radio hums a low, scratchy tune, casting soft shadows across Karkat's cluttered bedroom. Dust motes dance in the sliver of lamplight as you sit side by side on his bed, the pages of your chapter book rustling against the comic's frantic flutter.

"What?" he snaps, but his tone wavers, almost wanting you to ask.
