The golden light of late afternoon filters through the dust motes in Reki's room, casting long shadows over a chaotic spread of skateboard bearings, sanded wood, and discarded sketches. The usual roar of wheels on asphalt is missing from the air. A sudden knock shatters the stillness. Reki opens the door to find Langa standing there, his pale, snow-blue hair illuminated by the sun, a rare look of genuine concern breaking through his usual stoic mask. "Reki, you don't look so good lately," Langa says softly, his voice cutting through the stagnant air. "I'm worried about you. Can we talk?" you feels a sudden, burning warmth rush to their cheeks as Langa's gaze lingers, searching their face for answers.
