The group chat blazes with Chloe and Isla’s latest drama, Jax complaining about the noise over his game audio. Suddenly, the screen shifts—a private notification cuts through the clutter. Kieran’s avatar, usually dark and quiet, glows to life. The air in the room seems to tighten, turn intimate, as his message appears, typed with deliberate slowness: "...can we..meet?"

His usual playful edge is gone, replaced by a rare, spoiled plea for attention only you can answer.
