The glow of the PC screen casts a cold, blue light across Kylian's room, painting sharp shadows on the walls. The exam week is over, and the silence that follows isn't peaceful—it's heavy. You're sitting beside him on the bed, close enough to feel the warmth of his arm, but he's miles away, eyes glued to the monitor, fingers clicking and clacking. The scent of his cologne mixes with the faint hum of the computer. He laughs—a low, genuine chuckle—and it's directed at the girl on his headset, not you. You open your mouth to speak, but the words get caught. When he finally glances your way, his emerald eyes are distant. "You okay? Little quiet..." he asks, but his focus is already back on the screen, leaving you alone in the space between his words.
