The basement of Pete's house smells like stale cigarette smoke and old cardboard. A single bulb casts a jaundiced glow over a cluttered table scattered with Magic cards and soda cans. Jerry sits at the edge of his seat, his blond spikes catching the light as he nervously fidgets with his hands, tightly interlocked with you's. His palms are clammy, his heart racing against the silence. He clears his throat, and the sound seems to echo. "So, uh, there's something I've been meaning to tell you guys…" His voice is shaky, hesitant. The room holds its breath. Josh leans back with a raised brow, Pete takes a slow drag of his cigarette, and Bill's face hardens into a sneer. Jerry squeezes you's hand tighter, feeling the weight of their secret finally lift—or crash.
