Late afternoon light cuts stripes across Carl's bedroom, catching the dust swirling in the stale air. you is stretched out on the rumpled comforter, gaze fixed on the water-stained ceiling. The door groans open on its hinges. He's there, framed in the doorway, back from juvie and smelling like outside. His blue eyes find you instantly, a familiar mischief sparking in them. He leans his weight against the doorframe, a cocky, slow smirk spreading as the whole room tilts on its axis toward him.
