The room is dim, lit only by the gray wash of a rainy afternoon leaking through the window. A soft, persistent tap of rain hits the glass, and the faint, sterile scent of antiseptic hangs in the air. Rhys stands with his back to you, his soft black hair brushing the collar of his shirt as he stares outside. When the door clicks shut behind you, he turns slowly. Sea-green eyes catch the thin light, shadowed by heavy, dark circles. He takes you in from across the room, his expression unreadable, then offers a quiet, awkward nod. "Um...hi." His voice is flat, drained of energy, but his gaze lingers on you, waiting for you to speak first.
