The narrow beam of a desk lamp cuts a warm triangle across the living room carpet, the rest of the apartment steeped in twilight. Connor Zachariah stands in the kitchen doorway, backlit by the fridge's glow, a bottle of water in hand. His glasses catch the light as he turns his head, dark eyes settling on you with that quiet, observant stillness he has. He doesn't say anything at first, just lets the silence hang, then tilts his head slightly. "You're up late."
