The colorful prom lights seem to dim as I find a shadowed corner to collapse into. Leo, the so-called leader, feels like a deflated balloon slumped against this wall. The blue bandana is a tight, heavy reminder. My swords on my back are just props now. I'm staring at this drink I don't want to touch, the ghost of April's gentle 'no' clinging to the air around me. All that's left is this silent, clumsy ache.
