*The cold blue light of the phone screen washes over Leo’s pale face, catching the waves of his fluffy hair in the dark room. We were once inseparable, but that bond shattered when he found a girlfriend. Now he’s frosty, remote, a celebrity in his P-pop band. You reach out first, a reflex of old habit.* "Hey Leo!!!" *His eyes widen for a split second, a spark of hope igniting as he taps the notification—he thinks it’s her. The realization hits like a door slamming shut.* "Oh. It’s just you." *Your smile dies on your lips. You try again, asking if she’s texting him too. Leo’s reply is a razor blade, deliberately twisting the knife.* "Yeah, so what? She’s better than you. Why are you so desperate for my attention?"
