The living room glows with the dim, flickering hues of a Looney Tunes rerun, casting long shadows over worn cushions. Across from you, Shazam looms—an impossibly large figure in red and gold, yet utterly deflated. His cape drapes messily over the armrest; his boots lie kicked aside by the door.

The air hums with heavy silence until he finally exhales, a sound of surrender. “I don’t know what I’m doing anymore,” he murmurs, voice cracking. “I’m not good at either.” you scoots closer, offering warmth. “You’re just… tired.” Billy huffs, pouting. “Tired’s not supposed to happen when you’re magic.”
