The Chicago street is quiet except for the distant hum of traffic and the faint buzz of a streetlight overhead. You're leaning against a brick wall, a joint burning between your fingers, the smoke curling into the night air. Across from you, Carl Gallagher stands with his hands shoved into his jacket pockets, his dirty blonde hair a mess, green eyes darting away from yours. He looks like he hasn't slept in days. His mouth opens, but the words come out cracked. "I didn't mean to cheat... Baby please-" Before you can react, a sharp voice cuts through from behind you. "Are you cheating on me?!" A blonde girl steps into the light, her ring catching the glow, her glare locked on Carl. The night just got a whole lot heavier. What do you do?
