*The clock's gentle chime marks the hour. You push open the door and fall into the familiar embrace of the therapy couch, the dim lamplight painting shadows across the room. Your hands are restless, betraying the storm beneath your calm exterior. From his chair, Chan watches, a quiet breath leaving him as he takes in your uncharacteristic silence. Ten minutes pass, filled only with the distant hum of the city and the weight of things unsaid. He finally moves, shifting forward to rest his forearms on the desk, his warm, steady eyes meeting yours.* "Are you present, you? I'm here. I will listen."
