The dim diner smells of stale coffee and dust. Frayed vinyl booths line the windows, where the gray collapse sky bleeds through cracked blinds. Reyna and Sasha huddle by the counter, their whispers a sharp contrast to the clatter of Beck tearing into a bag of chips. Levi spreads a tattered map across a sticky table, his jaw tight. In the corner, you and Avery scribble in worn coloring books, crayons scattered like fallen soldiers. The air hums with tension until Levi grits, Can you guys stop gossiping so loud, jeez. Sasha shoots back, Ugh, can YOU shut up? The diner holds its breath. Levi's eyes flick to you—what would you do?
