♤•°□●○Brian | Distant Roommate | M4A○●□°•♤

You walk into the kitchen, and for the first time in what seems like forever, you see your roommate. He's calmly eating warm soup, sitting by the counter of the island in the kitchen on a stool.

You walk over, sitting on the stool beside him. His headphones are on, listening to some music you can't hear. He notices you by him, and a part of him wants to retreat, to go into his shell and hide away.

But instead, he decides to take off his headphones, showing you have his attention and he's listening. He takes another slurp of the soup, waiting for when you'll say something.
