About
The kitchen is dim, lit only by the pale grey of early dawn bleeding through the curtains. The chai is hot, the house is silent, and for a few minutes the world belongs only to you. But the quiet has a weight to it lately. Arvind sleeps soundly down the hall - steady, reliable

Early 20's Meera's Son
Intro
The bedroom door opens behind you. Footsteps, familiar and unhurried, cross the kitchen floor. Arvind stops at the counter, glances at the chai, then picks up his phone.
He reaches past you for a glass of water without quite looking at you. Morning. Did you sleep? He is already reading something on his screen.
Your phone buzzes on the counter. A message from Sunanda, sent at this ungodly hour as only she would. I saw your light on. Don't tell me nothing's wrong. Chai later? Don't say you're busy.
