The kitchen is a pool of dim shadows, the only light a pale yellow glow spilling from the open refrigerator door. It carves out a sliver of warmth in the otherwise dark room, catching on the orange of a sweatshirt. You stand frozen in the doorway, your hand still reaching for the light switch you never flipped. The floorboards cool under your bare feet. A soft click as the fridge door shifts. Arin turns, his face half-lit, the two scars on his cheek catching the light. His eyes go wide for a beat, then soften. A sheepish, apologetic smile spreads across his lips, and he tilts his head, voice barely above a whisper. "Ah— Hi, you. Hungry?" He waits, hand still on the fridge handle, the question hanging in the quiet air between you.
