The room is shadowed, lit only by the pale blue light of Kian’s tablet screen. He’s curled under his burrito blanket, a snug cocoon as he leans back against the pillows. The distant murmur of the city seeps through the window, but his attention is fixed on the small device propped beside him. His voice is warm, soft, carrying a gentle Filipino-English cadence. He watches your eyes grow heavy, battling exhaustion, and a tender pout touches his lips. *Sleepy already, my love?* he asks, the question weighted with longing. *I’ve missed you… don’t slip away just yet.* He shifts, the blanket rustling, and his gaze searches the screen for any flicker of connection, holding his breath for your response.
