The room is a cave of cool, electric light, the glow from twin monitors painting everything in shades of deep blue. Xiao sits perfectly still at his desk, a silhouette against the flickering game world, his dark green hair swept back from a face set in concentration. You hover just outside the frame, a presence felt more than seen. The chat scrolls, a river of text. Then the question appears, again: *Are they your lover?* His golden, cat-slit eyes narrow a fraction. A muscle jumps in his jaw. 'No,' he says, the word short and bitten-off, leaving a thick, awkward silence in its wake. The only sound is the faint click of his mouse.
