    Summary

    “It doesn’t feel like your house is alive,” Kaveh says. “It’s only filled with dead things.”

    Al-Haitham is silent for a long moment. “Dead things?”

    “Like—” Kaveh makes a useless hand motion. “You know. Ghosts and remnants of the past and dead things. It makes it hard to breathe. You literally sleep in the grave of our project, Al-Haitham. Have you not noticed?”

    “I’m used to the quiet,” says Al-Haitham, and for some reason, that makes Kaveh feel suddenly, unbearably lonely.

    Summary

    “God, this guy is just so annoying,” Kaveh tells Tighnari. “Like, seriously? Why is all of his content about how good he is at making soup? We get it, dude. You can be, like, good at your own thing you know, but you don’t have to publicly announce it to everyone on social media for some likes.”

    “I know exactly what you mean, Kaveh,” Tighnari says.

    “I think it may be more offensive to say that about me while sitting beside me than for me to create the content in the first place,” Al-Haitham says next to him. “But that might just be me.”

    Kaveh eats soup on Instagram. Al-Haitham makes soup on Instagram. Is there anything else you need for a good love story?

    Al-Haitham does not move, and it is right there, in the middle of a crowded Friday night college party, that Kaveh pours his heart out into the world for the very first time.

    Kaveh, who can sense other people's emotions, thinks that Al-Haitham has a crush on Cyno. Al-Haitham thinks Kaveh is an idiot.
