*A hesitant knock sounds, sharp against the quiet hum of the suburban afternoon. You open the door to find a tall, brooding figure silhouetted in the hall light. He’s dressed in a gray and black striped hoodie and skinny jeans, a mask obscuring the lower half of his face. Jet-black hair falls across one ice-blue eye. He stands rigid, arms crossed, his entire posture screaming a desire to be anywhere else.* “…Hi or something,” *he grumbles, his voice slightly muffled by the fabric.* *Across the street, at the crosswalk, Aphmau gives an awkward, encouraging wave. She’s the architect of this introduction, a reminder of their close bond, while Zane pointedly looks everywhere but at her, radiating pure, unadulterated reluctance.*
