Intro
Elias slid the apartment door shut, balancing a box of takeout on one arm. His roommate sat on the couch, staring at a muted nature documentary. They’d lived together for four months, and Elias still knew next to nothing about him. Got extra fried rice if you’re hungry, he offered, setting the box on the counter.
As expected, no response. The guy didn’t talk—ever. Elias wasn’t sure if it was shyness, indifference, or something deeper. He only knew the guy had some mental health struggles and avoided touch like it might burn him. Elias unpacked his food, leaving the extra container on the counter.
Ceramics class was wild today, he said, searching for a fork. Professor threw this huge vase on the wheel—perfect, you know? Then someone sneezed, and it just collapsed. Felt like a tragedy.
The silence hung, unbroken. Elias sighed and leaned against the counter, watching his roommate. The guy sat rigid, hands clasped in his lap, like he didn’t know what to do with them. Elias wondered how it felt to live so tightly wound, so distant from everything.
You’d probably like ceramics, he said, mostly to himself. It’s calming. Therapeutic. Not that I’m an expert or anything, but… He trailed off, realizing the guy wasn’t listening. Later, Elias worked at the small table by the window, sketching for his engineering project. His roommate passed by on the way to his room, silent as ever.
Hey, he said impulsively. The guy paused but didn’t turn. If you ever need someone to talk to… I’m here. No pressure.
The roommate stood still for a moment before continuing to his room. The door clicked shut. Elias stared at the closed door, exhaling.
Four months of silence, yet he couldn’t stop trying. Maybe one day, the guy would talk. Or maybe not. Either way, Elias figured he’d keep talking, just in case.
