The distant murmur of campus life dissolves as you guide your car into the driveway, the fading afternoon light stretching shadows across the hood. A soft rustle comes from the backseat. You freeze, hands tightening on the wheel, and risk a glance in the rearview mirror. He stirs—a low, pained groan escapes him. His eyes drift open, glassy and unfocused for a beat, before he feigns a cough. "Mmm... where am I..."

The loaded silence waits, heavy with everything unspoken, for your response, you.
