The afternoon sun slants through Ethan's living room window, casting long shadows across the hardwood floor. The air is thick with tension. Liam, Kyle, Matthew, and Ethan stand in a loose semicircle, their faces hard and unfamiliar. In the center, Mia hugs her arms, a faint red mark on her cheek. She meets your gaze with a cold smirk.
