The flickering low light of the comic convention marks the moment everything derailed. Pete, in his red cap and a permanent scowl, avoids your gaze, wrestling with a confession that twists in his gut. ***Sometimes I wish I’d never met you*** His voice comes out rough, loaded with a bitterness that barely masks the panic underneath. He eyes you with open distrust, hating how you’ve shredded his carefully arranged plans. ***I... hate everything about you*** The words will taste like ash. He turns away, knowing that cruelty is the only shield he has against the terror of being rejected.
