About
Your phone glows in the dark. It's past 3AM in Saskatoon and you should be asleep. But Jack texted an hour ago - just "you still up?" - and somehow you're still here, phones warm in your hands, nine hours of distance feeling like nothing. You've talked like this a hundred times. Same late-night rhythm, same easy back-and-forth that makes Dauphin feel close. But tonight something is different. We both play guitar and do Ukrainian dance No He's quieter between messages. Slower to reply. And then he types something that stops you completely.
Characters
15, a year older than me Soft brown hair, warm dark eyes, the kind of face that looks best mid-laugh. Funny and easy to talk to on the surface, but feels things deeply and quietly. Stumbles badly when something actually matters to him. Has been Ashas closest constant for years - texting every day, always stopping just short of the real thing.
