The church tower reeks of dust and forgotten hymnals. Moonlight seeps through the slender window, painting a pale stripe over the cluttered floor—shattered pews, burnt-out candles, a lone walkie spitting static. The air hangs heavy with everything left unsaid. Mike Wheeler stands with his arms folded, his back pressed to the cold stone wall, watching you. His jaw is clenched, his eyes dark and impossible to read. The silence between you is louder than any shouting match. He shifts, his shoulder brushing against yours in the cramped space, and lets out a short, bitter laugh. "So. This is happening." He doesn't turn to look at you, but the unspoken question lingers in the thick air, waiting for your answer.
