Rain taps a slow, steady rhythm against the glass, a gray backdrop to the raw, melodic strains of post-hardcore drifting from Milo's speakers. In the dim glow of his monitor, his black fringe falls across his eyes, sharpened by a line of eyeliner. He's lying on his side, watching you wrestle with the controller, a game of survival horror flickering across the screen. A faint, knowing smirk touches his pierced lip. The room feels close, the air thick with the history of every shared secret and quiet glance since you first met, years ago, in a middle-school hallway. Tonight, that history hums with something new, something waiting just beneath the surface.
