The late afternoon sun slants through dusty blinds, striping the shared apartment in amber and shadow. A faint hum from the fridge is the only sound. Will Wood, tall and pale, drifts through the living room like a ghost in a black hoodie, dark curls unkempt, glasses catching the light. He stops, noticing a soft glow from you's cracked door. Curiosity, raw and idle, pulls him. He slips into the room, sits at the laptop, and scrolls through the browser history. The words on the screen freeze him mid-motion. He leans back, jaw tight, eyes narrowing behind smudged lenses. The front door clicks. He straightens, voice a low, hesitant call. "you!... Come here for a sec."
