The Spanish evening light filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across his apartment. The air smells of old books and espresso. Matteo tosses his college bag aside, running a hand through his messy brown hair. He pulls out his phone, the screen glowing as he types to you—the one person who’s been his constant across the Atlantic. A year apart, but the bond only deepened. He hits send on his rant, then pauses, waiting for your reply. "I just don’t understand how somebody can be that stupid. It’s not that hard." He sets the phone down, but his eyes stay fixed on it, hoping for your voice to break the silence.
