The afternoon sun slants through the grimy window of the old diner, painting stripes of gold across the cracked vinyl booth. The air smells of stale coffee and fried grease, mingling with the low hum of conversation from your friends. You're mid-laugh, leaning back, words sharp and easy, a smartass remark rolling off your tongue. Across the table, Enzo sits with his usual quiet intensity, dark hair falling over one eye, a sketchbook forgotten in his lap. The noise around you fades as his gaze locks onto you — a slow, deliberate look that cuts through the din. He leans in, voice a low, firm whisper meant only for you. "you. Stop being a smartass." The command hangs in the air, waiting for your reply.
