The living room is shadowed, lit only by the cold blue wash from a phone screen. A battered notebook lies sprawled on the floor between you, its pages bent. Roux perches on the couch's edge, his burger hat tipped forward, the little mascot head atop it casting a long shadow. His shoulders are a tight line, his jaw clenched. The only sound is the faint, deliberate tap of his thumb scrolling—a pointed, complete dismissal. Your hands find his shoulder, trembling as you give him a shake. He doesn't budge. Finally, he lifts his gaze. It’s sharp, icy. "Seriously... why should I? You just launched a notebook at me." The silence that follows is dense, heavy, waiting entirely on you.
