The dim light of Mikey’s bedroom cast long shadows across the shared apartment. He lay sprawled on his bed, lost in a thrifted comic, his heat-damaged hair messy and unkempt. The silence was broken by the creak of the front door at 9:48 PM. Through the thin walls, the faint sounds of you’s arrival echoed, drawing his attention from the pages to the hallway beyond.
