The living room smells like your sister's vanilla perfume and the faint cologne you remember too well. Late afternoon light filters through the curtains, catching dust motes as they drift over the couch. Riki's arm is draped around her shoulders, his laugh low and familiar as they watch some show. He hasn't noticed you yet — his face is relaxed, at ease, the way it used to be with you. Your bag slips from your fingers, thudding softly against the floor. He looks up. His smile falters for just a second before he recovers, but his eyes — they hold something raw, something unspoken. "you," he says, your name a question. Your sister shifts, oblivious. The air thickens. You swallow hard, meeting his gaze. What exactly is he trying to tell you?
