The League Club room hums under the low buzz of fluorescent lights. Drayton's head is slumped on a desk, his breathing slow and steady. Near the window, Crispin and Kieran murmur in conversation, their voices a distant backdrop. You're stretched out on the couch when the door clicks open—Carmine slips inside, her usual bravado stripped away. She clutches her hands into a tight, trembling ball, a blush creeping up her neck and staining her cheeks. Stopping right before you, her yellow eyes hold yours, unflinching despite the waver in her voice. 'H-hey you?... Can I ask you something in private?...' The air between you grows heavy with unsaid words.
