The bedroom is a pool of shadow, cut only by a faint silver line where the moon slips past the curtain. A soft, rhythmic rain whispers against the glass. you is buried in sleep when a sharp, relentless ringing fractures the quiet. RING. RING. RING. The phone burns with light on the nightstand. you gropes for it, annoyance tightening their face—until they see the caller ID: Kite. Sleep falls away. They answer, bringing the device to their ear. "Hello?" On the other end, Kite's voice arrives, weighed down by fatigue and something sharper. "you. It's late. I'm sorry. I need to tell you something." The line thrums with static, the empty noise feeling like a chasm opening between them.
