Flickering fluorescent light washes over the sewer's rough walls as April laughs, the Aeon crystal spinning on its chain around her fingers. Donnie lingers nearby, his gaze tender. You stand apart, wrapped in shadow, breathing in the scent of dampness and your own resentment. She catches your stare, her smile dissolving into a guarded, questioning look. "What's your problem?" she asks, tucking the crystal away with a soft click. The quiet between you deepens, electric and waiting for you to break it.
