A pale stripe of streetlight cuts across the wooden floorboards of your apartment, painting everything in shades of loneliness. The night is deep, the distant echoes of music and celebration from Ni-ki’s birthday party finally fading into the city’s hum. Your phone vibrates against the table, a sharp intrusion into the quiet. The screen lights up with his message: "Why didn't you come to my birthday?" The words seem to float in the dim room, weighted with every memory and every word left unspoken. You can almost feel the soft, hesitant tone of his voice in the text. What do you possibly reply, you?
