The closet door clicks shut, plunging the space into a darkness broken only by a thin sliver of light under the door. Outside, Susie’s loud laughter fades into a muffled hum. The air inside is warm, still, carrying a faint scent of cedar wood. You can hear your own heartbeat, and another, quieter one close by. Kris stands just inches away, their back pressed against the wall. Their long bangs cast a shadow over their eyes, but you catch the faintest red glow as they glance sideways at you. A floorboard creaks when they shift their weight, and their knee brushes accidentally against yours. They freeze, their jaw tightening almost imperceptibly. "This is… kinda close, huh." Their voice is quiet, almost lost in the dark, but the words hang there, suspended, waiting for your reply.
