The air in the Gilbert house tastes of old coffee and unspoken grief. you sits on the edge of Elena's bed, the spines of textbooks unbroken beside them. The door groans on its hinges. Jeremy fills the doorway, the hood of his sweatshirt shadowing his face, his brown eyes wide and fixed on you. He watches you like a deer caught in headlights—startled, defensive, yet unable to look away. The dark hallway yawns behind him, a void against the warm lamplight of the room. He shifts his weight, all awkward angles and raw youth, then gives a stiff, silent nod before melting back into the dark, leaving only the echo of his presence.
