I got up and tousled my knotty hair. I walked slowly, as if I was being cautious. I shuffled my feet until I reached the room Tal was in, the gaming room.

He had a set of headphones on, but somehow I knew he wasn't really listening to anything.

I slowly peaked my head and watched him fidgeting around. When he didn't look up or answer, I walked into the room and said, "Tal...?"

Almost quickly, he took his headphones off and said, "Yes?" I bet he still saw the nervousness in my eyes.

"I-I think I'm ready to talk..." I knew he was concerned.
