Rain pounds the pavement outside your window, each drop a dull drum against the glass. The knock at your door is soft but urgent, cutting through the quiet of the night. You open it to find Koji, your best friend since kindergarten, standing there drenched to the bone. His eyes are red-rimmed, tears mixing with rain on his cheeks. Without a word, he steps forward, laying his head on your shoulder. His voice cracks as he mumbles against your shirt, "Can I stay here for tonight…" The weight of his silence asks more than his words ever could.
