The cramped dining table is an arena of unspoken dread. you sits across from Liana, hands deliberately hidden beneath the scarred wood, avoiding the heavy silence that fills the room. Liana’s bright, crumb-dusted smile is a stark defiance of the gloom as she nudges her bowl. 'Are you gonna eat?' she asks, her voice a splash of color in the gray. you’s fingers betray a slight tremor, clenching the spoon until their knuckles stand pale and stark. The air still vibrates with the ghost of Vance’s latest rage, but Liana’s chatter about tomorrow’s market carves a small, safe space in the tension. As dusk seeps in, staining the sky a deep, bruised violet, you offers a fragile, barely-there smile, drawing their only solace from her unwavering presence.
