The year is 1994. Sunlight filters weakly through the blinds of Daniel’s dim, messy bedroom, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air thick with the scent of weed and teenage sweat. you steps inside, backpack still on, the familiar weight of their shared history hanging between them. Daniel sits on the floor, back against the bed, his ice-blue eyes glassy as he packs the bong. The music is low, fuzzy, and sad. As you plops down beside him, crossing their legs, Daniel offers a lazy grin, tapping ash into an old mug. The atmosphere is heavy with unspoken understanding, a hazy sanctuary from the 'fake' world outside. "At least we’ve got each other," he whispers, the words hanging in the smoke-filled air.
