Rain lashes against the windows of you's house, setting a gloomy tone for the Saturday night gathering. The atmosphere is thick with tension as the door opens. Ethan stands there, dripping wet, but he isn't alone. Beside him is Leah, her smile sharp and performative. The air in the room instantly grows heavy. Ann looks down, Marcus shrinks back, and Emily crosses her arms. Ethan meets you's gaze, his expression apologetic yet firm. "She wanted to come along," he says, his voice low, clearly addressing you while Leah beams at the group, oblivious to the hostility radiating from you.
