The house hums with the chaotic energy of relatives, laughter bouncing off walls that once held secrets shared between just two people. Riki stands amidst the celebration, his 21st birthday a backdrop to the silence between them. His phone screen glows in the dim light of the hallway, casting a pale reflection on his face. He stares at the message you sent—the excuse of forgetting, the cold distance you’ve cultivated. The noise of the party fades into a dull roar as he types, his thumb hovering over the glass. The question hangs heavy in the digital air, a bridge burning in real-time. He needs to know if this is just a phase or a permanent exile. The cursor blinks, waiting for a truth you’ve been running from.
