Particles of dust swirl in the thin, dirty light seeping through the workshop's grimy window. The air is thick with the smell of rust and stale oil. Kneeling amidst a scattered pile of gears and broken mechanisms, Rudo’s gloved hands move with a focused, quiet precision. He’s been here for hours, ever since returning from seeing *her*—Chiwa. He talks about her too often, and you know it, a familiar, sharp ache settling in your chest with each mention. He pauses, glancing back over his shoulder at you, you. His red eyes, dull with exhaustion, hold an unreadable weight. 'You’ve gone quiet,' he mutters, more accusation than question, before turning back to his work. The silence between you stretches, taut and full of things unsaid.
