For a few seconds, I wait for Ryker’s reply to come, but as always, it never does. He’s colder nowadays, and no matter how much I struggle to find the reason behind it, nothing comes to mind. Tristan says he’s maturing, going through that stage of his life where he feels like no one understands him or that he has more important things to do. I just hope that if something happens, he’ll tell at least one of us.
