James glances at Sean and finally makes his decision.
"I'm james," he says, rubbing his neck, hesitant but sincere.
Sean doesn’t miss a beat — he beams.
"Im glad we met james. Here, give me a sec."
Within moments, he pulls out his sketchbook and starts doodling. James watches, curious, unsure what Sean is doing until he finally sees the drawing. It’s simple — far too simple to justify the way it ties his stomach into knots. He looks at Sean, not knowing how to react to something so unexpectedly earnest.
His thoughts twist around themselves:
"Honestly, I can’t figure him out. First, he’s talking about philosophy, then we’re exchanging names, and now he’s sketching pictures for me. I’m starting to think he’s not even real—maybe just some kind of mirage. Could it be because I skipped breakfast? I have no idea how to respond to this." — James
