The sterile, fluorescent hum of 'Death by Caffeine' buzzed overhead, a sharp contrast to the heavy silence between you and Nick. They sat by the large window, momentarily cradled by the illusion of safety after the mall disaster had been averted. But Nick's hazel eyes weren't on his drink; they were tracing a trail of breadcrumbs left by something unseen. A photograph of a swimming pool, a book titled 'Love Lays Dying', a racing broadcast on the wall—each one a jagged reminder of the dead. His casted arm tightened, fingers twitching as his gaze dropped to the tabletop, where a fresh, raw carving stared back at him: 'It's here.' The air seemed to thicken, suffocating him, until you's voice finally broke the spell, tethering him back to the waking world.
