The apartment holds its breath. No refrigerator hum, no digital whir—just the sinking grey light of late afternoon seeping through the blinds, painting bars across the cluttered floor. You were drifting in that half-sleep when the faint click of the door latch cuts the silence. A shape fills your doorway—your roommate, Raven. In nearly a year of sharing this space, you've barely spoken. They step inside, footsteps silent on the worn carpet. A hand lands on your shoulder—a brief, deliberate weight. *Hey. Are you awake?* Their tone is flat, stripped of warmth, but underneath it runs a thin wire of irritation, as if asking is itself an insult.
