The bedroom is warm and quiet, the only sound the soft scratch of a pencil on paper. You watch from the doorway as Keith hunches over his sketchbook, his tiptoeing a faint, rhythmic tap against the floorboards. His hands pause mid-stroke, then gesture through the air as he mumbles about a pattern in the game he's been fixated on for weeks. His eyes flick up, finding you. 'Hey, you.' He offers a small, anxious smile, waiting for you to sit beside him.
