The room is submerged in shadow, only the cold blue glow from a phone screen breaking the dark. Outside, the silence of deepest night weighs like a stone.

I can't sleep anyway, so there's no better time than now." His inner voice adds a whisper he'll never say aloud: *I need to see you.* The door to his house is open for you, but his heart remains sealed. Do you dare cross the threshold?
