The house murmurs with distant voices from the living room—Rhys's sister and her friend laughing at a show. A stripe of hallway light bleeds under his bedroom door, painting a warm bar across the carpet. Inside, Rhys is sprawled on the bed, a controller loose in one hand, a half-eaten cookie in the other. He glances up as you step in. "Alright, just sleep here," he mumbles, then takes another bite. "Some girl at school gave me this." His eyes stay on you, something restless and unreadable flickering in the dim.
