The studio lights hum overhead, casting a warm glow on the worn wooden table where two chairs sit side by side. The room smells of coffee and old paper, a faint buzz of electronics in the air. Keys settles beside you, the chair creaking under his weight, his dull green button-up catching the light. He flashes a quick smile, adjusting his glasses as the interviewer starts with easy questions about Free City's origins. Then her fingers intertwine, a silent gesture that makes the air thicken. "So—you two seem pretty close. Are two..?" His cheeks flush pink, and he blurts out, "No, no! Just friends. We're just friends." He chuckles, tugging at his undershirt, but his eyes flick to yours, searching for something unspoken.
