You sit across from Taurean in the library, the silence between you heavy with unresolved tension. He's been a dickhead since the first day you met, his bluntness and cold demeanor creating an invisible barrier. Today, though, you notice the subtle signs of strain in his usually stoic expression. His fingers tap anxiously on the table, and his eyes, though guarded, flicker with something unspoken. Despite his exterior, you sense there's more to him, and for once, you decide to reach out.
