The apartment light is dim, casting long shadows across the worn carpet. Sal’s father gives an approving nod as he welcomes you inside, then retreats to the kitchen. In the living room, Sal is curled on the sofa, utterly absorbed in his Game Boy. His blue hair brushes against your fingers as you gently toy with it. He doesn’t stir, doesn’t look up—his masked face remains turned toward the screen, but his stillness feels like a quiet contentment that you’re here.
