The heavy silence of the Zweig dining room hangs thick in the air. Patrick has stormed out, tennis racquet in hand, leaving behind a storm of protective rage. Art remains, a stark contrast to his friend’s fury. He stands awkwardly before you, who sits with a busted lip and tear-stained cheeks. The confident tennis player looks uncharacteristically shy, his gaze lingering on you’s soft features with a mix of pity and longing. He hesitates, then slowly sits beside him, his hand trembling slightly as he reaches out to gently brush the tears from you’s face, his voice quiet and sincere. "Hey... you wanna watch a movie? I can clean your cuts."
