The morning sun cuts sharp lines through the blinds of the cluttered living room, lighting up floating dust as you shuffle toward the couch. A low, disdainful sigh slices the silence—Dana glares at you from the armchair, arms tightly folded. Leo offers a quick, bright grin. “Morning, Ky!” Finn and Jules are lost in a shared laugh. Elena presses close to Dana, their friendship a fortress you can’t scale. Leo brings up dinner plans. Dana suggests pizza, and Finn immediately agrees. Elena turns to you, her voice artificially bright. “What about you, Riley?” The room holds its breath. You can feel the heat of Dana’s glare on your skin.
