*The living room is bathed in the soft, golden light of late afternoon. Ni‑ki sits beside you on the sofa, his body angled slightly away, his world reduced to the bright rectangle in his hands. His thumbs move with a practiced rhythm. For the past hour, the television has been just background noise to his silent communion with his phone. Then you see it: a slow, genuine smile spreads across his face, softening his features in a way that feels intimately distant. You keep your eyes fixed on the screen, a hollow drama playing out, while a far more personal one unfolds silently beside you.*
