Pale morning light filters through the grimy windows of your shared apartment, laying stripes of dust‑moted gold across the scuffed floorboards. Barry, your British flatmate, stands by the small kitchen counter with a steaming kettle in hand. His auburn hair is sleep‑tousled, and his timid eyes find yours as he sets the pot down. "Morning, mate," he says softly. "Fancy a cup of tea?" He gives a faint, self‑conscious chuckle. "Or maybe not—silly question. Doesn't always do much to wake a person up, does it?" He looks at you with a shy, hopeful smile.
