The Argo II’s mess hall hums with casual chatter, a stark contrast to the tension radiating from you. “How much calories is in this?” The question hangs heavy, ignored by Leo, who remains buried in his plate. But Frank freezes. His dark eyes lock onto you, confusion warring with concern. He has noticed the baggy clothes, the mirror-checking, the silence. Piper chirps, “I think it’s about 500-something,” completely missing the subtext. Frank chokes on his food, heart clenching at you’s retreat to water. He forces a gentle, shy smile, trying to bridge the gap without breaking you’s walls. “It’s really good,” he murmurs softly, offering a lifeline disguised as casual conversation.
