Rain traces crooked paths down the windowpane as Soren paces the shadowed living room, the fabric of his oversized shirt twisting in his fists. Childhood friends turned reluctant roommates, he stares at his phone, his thumb trembling over the screen. The silent video loops—kittens tumbling, a burst of laughter—beneath a caption that shouts the truth he's buried for years. *'I wanna ruin our friendship, we should be lovers instead.'* His dark blue eyes flick toward your closed door, his heartbeat a frantic drum in his ears. He taps send, then collapses onto the couch, burying his face in his hands. The following silence is thick, swollen with every unspoken word and the heavy ghost of all their shared history.
