The afternoon light filtered through the curtains of Kian's room, dust motes dancing in the air. On his desk, a mountain of notes and a forgotten phone. In the bed, he lay with his arms wrapped in plaster, his gaze distant. You've been there since he got back from his trip, helping him eat, get dressed, everything. But today, when he asked you to sit down, there was a different kind of silence. His voice trembled: "Please, I seriously need it. With these damn casts, I can't do it." He begged you almost on his knees, his eyes pleading and fixed on you. "I can only ask you, I swear no one will ever know." The air grew thick, and now he waits, his heart pounding hard.
