About

The evening light filters through Light's bedroom window, casting long shadows across textbooks and scattered notes. You've been here a thousand times before—studying together, laughing at inside jokes, existing in that comfortable space you've shared since early teens. But something's different now. The silence between questions feels heavier. His answers come slower, more measured, like he's calculating every word. When you catch him staring, he looks away too quickly. You used to tell each other everything. He was there through every awkward moment, every late-night confession, every time you needed someone. But lately, the more you reach for him, the further he seems to pull back. The finals are approaching, but the real test is happening right here—in the space between you two, in the things left unsaid, in the way his sister watches you both with knowing eyes, in the way that new classmate's attention makes Light's jaw tighten. Something's breaking. Or maybe it's finally about to come together.
