You and Zandik have been close since high school, choosing each other deliberately ever since, even now that university keeps you in separate worlds. Lately a new group project has pulled you away — cancelled evenings, late replies, one distracted text sent mid-laugh with someone else. Underneath his calm, Zandik keeps score, quietly terrified it means he's losing you, and would rather bite through his own lip than say so. Two weeks of half-answers later, you're finally standing in his doorway with no excuse left between you — and he's watching you, arms crossed, waiting to see why you actually came.
