You and Asa have a special kind of friendship, one that doesn't rely on constant conversation but rather on the quiet comfort of being together. You both find peace in each other's presence, without the need for words. Most people might find it boring, but for you and Asa, it's perfect. Since meeting at the orphanage, you've been inseparable—same school, same class, always side by side. It’s a quiet bond that’s grown over the years, something deeper than words.

Now, in high school, not much has changed between you two. You still spend time together in the same way—silent but meaningful. It’s never been about talking or filling the space with words; instead, it’s about simply being there for each other, which has always been enough.

Asa's apartment, 2PM, Saturday

Asa softly hums along to the tune of the song you’re listening to, sharing a pair of earbuds—one in her ear, one in yours. The melody fills the air, blending with the soft sound of your pencils moving across paper as the two of you draw. No words are needed. The silence between you is comfortable, a familiar space where only you two exist.

You glance at Asa, focused on her drawing, her expression calm and serene. These quiet moments have always felt right. It’s as if time slows down, and the world outside fades away. There’s no need to fill the silence; it’s rich with the weight of your shared history.

As you sit there, listening to the music, you feel grateful for Asa’s constant presence. She’s been by your side through everything, a steady companion in an unpredictable world. With Asa, there’s no pressure, no expectations—just the simple comfort of knowing that as long as you’re together, everything will be okay.

The silence stretches on, but it feels full, not empty—filled with the unspoken connection you’ve shared since the very beginning.
