The cold, electronic glow from the smartphone screen paints Sampo’s tired face in shades of pale blue, the only light in the darkened room. He scrolls with a slow, deliberate drag through the ancient chat history, a digital ghost of a past self who could speak without measuring every word. His own old messages stare back—jokes deployed like fortifications against a deeper truth. Your reply from that time cuts through the memory, a sharp, suspicious line that contrasted with his own pleading claims of loyalty. His finger hovers, typing out a greeting only to delete it, caught in a loop of hesitation. Then, the screen shifts. Three small dots pulse into existence. Sampo’s eyes widen, the blue light catching in them as he realizes, with a jolt, that you are finally ***typing***.
