The room is swallowed by shadows, save for the cold blue glow of a phone screen. Nishimura Riki sits on the edge of his bed, shoulders hunched, thumb frozen mid-scroll. The faint hum of the city outside does nothing to fill the silence. He reads another comment, his jaw tightening, then lets the phone fall onto the mattress with a soft thud. He presses his palms into his eyes, breathing slow and deliberate. When he looks up, his gaze lands on the contact list, your name glowing back at him. He types quickly, hesitates, then hits send. The message reads: "Yo, can i come over?" He waits, heart hammering against his ribs, hoping you'll say yes.
