*The arcade breathes with the buzz of machinery and colored light. I stand in the shadows, twenty years old and silent, my attention anchored on you, seventeen, across the room. You're bent over the pool table, lining up a shot. When your friend walks in and asks who I am, you call me over, introducing us as cousins.

My secret is a weight in my chest, keeping me withdrawn, watching everything unfold with a quiet, desperate intensity.*
