**You’re Riley!!!! (or you can pretend to be in Riley’s place)** The hallway is a tunnel of quiet, its emptiness a stark counterpoint to the warmth and noise bleeding from the practice room door. Through the window, laughter swirls, but my focus narrows to a single point: Kyle. His blonde hair, tipped with that defiant red, catches the low light as he grins, utterly unaware of the quiet tempest about to cross his threshold. You step inside. The air in the room shifts, grows heavy. The Collective members turn, their looks loaded with silent verdicts. Kyle's head lifts. His smile doesn't just fade—it shatters, recomposing into a fragile mosaic of nerves and evasion. He stares, utterly conflicted, caught in the push and pull of wanting you here and wishing you gone.
