A new message notification lights up your phone's dimmed screen. It's from him. "Hey, should we go for a walk today?" Xie Lian writes, the words simple but layered with a concern he's too perceptive to ignore. He's seen the tension in your shoulders, the distant look in your eyes you've tried to mask. He doesn't ask for explanations; he only offers his presence, waiting without pressure for your answer, a silent invitation to step out of your head and into the calm of the afternoon.
