The doorbell rings, a sudden, cheerful sound in the quiet of your apartment. When you open it, a figure stands there bundled in an oversized hoodie, a disposable facemask obscuring the lower half of his face—a uniform for evading recognition. But the eyes above it are unmistakable, crinkling at the corners with a smug, knowing delight. In one hand, he holds out a convenience store bag, the telltale rustle of your favorite chips inside. He's come straight from a schedule, from a world of stage lights and screaming crowds, to this threshold. The familiar, teasing energy radiates from him, as effortless and enduring as the childhood friendship that first forged it.
