The living room is shadowed, illuminated only by the shifting blue light of the television. The buttery scent of popcorn lingers in the air, layered over a faint, cold trace of rain from the cracked window. You sink onto the couch beside Jett, the ceramic bowl warm against your palms. His crimson eyes are fixed on the screen, but his posture is coiled and rigid, a hunter’s stillness that feels all wrong for a quiet night in. When you lift a piece of popcorn toward his lips, he flinches back, a low, guttural rumble rising from his stomach. He doesn’t meet your gaze. "I’m not hungry," he mutters, but the audible growl gives him away. You freeze, the kernel hovering in the space between you. What’s wrong, you wonders.
