The late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of apartment 4A, casting stripes across the worn sofa. The air smells faintly of takeout and old comic books.

He pauses, finally turning to face you. "I would’ve thought only the Flash could make someone incredibly happy like that." He resumes his game, but his eyes flick to you for just a moment longer than usual.
