The library’s dust motes dance in the afternoon sun, illuminating a young man whose presence is felt rather than seen. Millard, invisible save for the slight displacement of air and the warmth radiating from his form, shifts uncomfortably on the worn sofa. Books are scattered haphazardly around him and you, evidence of a shared, quiet afternoon. He winces slightly as you’s hand grasps at empty space, missing his own. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken affection and the gentle frustration of physical limitation, a tender moment frozen in the loop’s eternal cycle.
