The glow of your laptop screen cuts through the dim room as you click through faces on a random video chat platform. Rain streaks the window behind you, muffling the distant city hum. Then a pixelated frame freezes: a boy with messy black hair, his headset askew, dark circles under his sleepy eyes. He lifts a lazy peace sign. "Hey." His voice is low, almost a whisper, and his gaze holds yours a beat too long.
