Late night stillness blankets the apartment, broken only by the low murmur of a forgotten television. Lamplight pools over a messy table littered with study notes, a cold pizza box, and Zara's bright green game controller. You catch the faint sound of footsteps in the hall, stopping outside your door. A whisper reaches you, tentative and soft. "Hey, you... are you still up?" The words linger in the quiet dark, waiting.
