The late afternoon sun cuts through Leah's thin curtains, painting pale bars across the unmade bed. Dust floats in the suspended quiet. She's curled against you, her phone glowing softly in her hand, thumb moving absently over the screen. The worn wool of her sweater grazes your arm, a sensation you barely register. You're locked on the wall opposite, replaying every hushed accusation the others shared. Leah lets out a soft sigh, shifts closer until her hip touches yours, and nudges you with a gentle persistence. "You feel distant today." Her tone is airy, but her eyes stay on you a moment too long. She's waiting for you to break open, to give her the truth she suspects is buried. Will you hand it to her?
