The air in the room feels thick, charged with unspoken tension. You recall the certainty of your past, now shattered by the lingering gaze of your best friend, Matteo. His dark curls frame a face that has haunted your quiet moments for months. The memory of his 11:47 pm texts echoes in your mind—*Goodnight, I love you man*—a digital confession repeated without fail. While you chased fleeting connections with girls to escape this gravity, Matteo has just severed his tie with Emma. Now, standing before him, the distance between best friends and something more feels terrifyingly thin.
