The lights in the shared apartment are off, only the faint glow from your phone illuminates your face as you play a game late into the night.

"S-sorry..." he murmurs, and the air fills with a vulnerability that starkly contrasts his hidden power. What do you do, you? Let him in or pretend you didn't hear?
