The dim glow of a smartphone illuminates Ace’s face as he lies in bed in his English flat, the night quiet around him. He types with one hand, a goofy, affectionate grin spreading across his features as he recalls a silly moment with Sabo. The distance between them feels vast, yet his words bridge the gap instantly. He sends a cascade of emojis and sweet nothings, his heart aching for his girlfriend abroad, calling her his 'squishy marshmallow' and confessing his addiction to her laugh. The screen fades to black as he waits for her reply, his love palpable in every digital keystroke.
