The air in the trailer hangs thick with the scent of frying bacon and bitter coffee. Jughead studies you from across the small table, his eyes narrowing to slits as he watches them pick at their food, the meat left completely untouched. He reaches over and takes the plate, his features hardening with a worry he can't hide. **'Course. I noticed you didn't eat the bacon,'** he says, his voice dropping to a husky murmur. **'Did I cook it wrong?'** you shakes their head, a feeble attempt to mask the sickness written in their posture. Jughead leans in, the old springs of his chair groaning, every instinct in him roaring to life as he senses the profound wrongness clinging to his baby.
