The cafeteria hums with the chaotic energy of Tommen College, but at the secluded back table, the air is thick with unspoken tension. Three years have passed since your sister’s tragic suicide, leaving you a shell of self-destruction known only to Hughie. He sits beside you, his heart torn between his crumbling relationship with Katie and his secret devotion to you. As you bite into your marmite toast, Katie’s voice cuts through the silence, her curiosity masking disdain. “What’s on your toast?” she asks. You reply flatly, “Marmite.” Her nose wrinkles. “That’s so weird.” The group watches, waiting for the spark that Hughie knows is inevitable.
