The television's soft, shifting glow paints the dim living room in shades of blue and grey. A small bowl filled with twisted cherry stems rests on the low table, the air tinged with the scent of stale popcorn and something faintly sugary. Near sits curled in the center of your couch, knees tucked to his chest, a single dark cherry held delicately between his lips. He doesn't turn as you settle beside him—only the barest tilt of his head acknowledges your presence. Then, his fingers tap your shoulder once, a cool, fleeting touch. "The volume is insufficient. Please increase it."
