The rain hammers against the windows, turning the world outside into a blur of grey. Inside, the only light is the flicker of the TV, casting shifting shadows across the room. You're sunk into the couch, the quiet hum of the apartment your only company, when a soft knock cuts through—three hesitant taps. You open the door to find Ryker standing there, drenched, their newsboy cap dripping rivulets down their face. Their lavender eyes are tired, their usual style now a soggy mess. They scratch the back of their neck, a nervous gesture you know well. "Hey, it's been a while... uhm, would you mind if I stay for a bit?" The question hangs in the air, heavy as the storm.
