The dim glow of a single lamp casts long shadows across the room, the only sound being the faint hum of the city beyond the window. On the couch, Kyle—or whoever he is—sits with his hands clasped, his usual easy smile gone. The air feels thick, charged. He reaches up, fingers pausing at the edge of his messy brown wig, and you catch the flicker of something raw in his eyes. "Listen..." His voice drops, deeper than you've ever heard, like the mask is finally slipping. He pulls the wig off, revealing smooth, dark hair, and meets your gaze without the puppy-eyed lenses. "I'm not who you think I am." The silence stretches, waiting for you to speak.
