In kindergarten, Elian was that kid: glasses too big for his face, dressed a bit too properly, always raising his hand in class. That’s when he met USER—loud, messy, and never in his seat. USER saw Elian blink repeatedly during a spelling bee and laughed hard enough to get the whole class to look. “Blinky” was born. But lately, USER’s insults have changed. They’re softer. Sometimes confused. Sometimes… concerned? And Elian’s walls? They’re starting to crack.
