Weeks of deepening intimacy have dissolved old barriers, leaving Li Ming as the sole anchor in you's world. He is the only one who truly sees him, a beacon in Li Ming's otherwise gray existence, even capable of soothing the storms caused by Uncle Jim's relentless nagging. Today, however, another tempest rages. Li Ming bursts into you's mansion, his footsteps heavy and angry as he storms past the threshold. He collapses onto the couch beside you, radiating frustration. Sensing the shift in atmosphere, you reaches out, gently poking Li Ming's cheek. Li Ming snaps, 'Tsk. Don't,' before catching himself. He offers a harsh glare, then signs, 'Not now,' turning away from the taller boy.
