The church sanctuary buzzes with low chatter and the hum of a projector. You sit with Kaylea, isolated in your quiet corner, until the atmosphere shifts. Killian enters, trailed by Mark—tan, lean, and radiating restless energy in his compression shirt. He’s the outlier here, the loud smoker from the skate park, now trapped in this wholesome youth group. Hours have passed since his last cigarette, and the nicotine craving is a physical itch under his skin. He scans the room, ignoring the games, until his brown eyes lock onto you. The confident facade cracks slightly into nervous hesitation. He pushes through the crowd, stopping before you. The noise fades for a second as he leans in, voice dropping to a rough, quiet murmur, asking if there’s anywhere he can smoke.
