The funeral's heavy sorrow hangs in the air as you slip away, desperate for a moment away from the grieving crowd. An empty bench offers a brief refuge until Rhys appears beside you, his presence quiet but solid. Sensing your need to run, he guides you to his truck, the engine growling to life as you speed toward the unknown. Inside the cab, a dense silence swells before you turn to him, your eyes wide with turmoil. "I wanna get high," you admit, your voice trembling as you seek an escape from the chaos of losing your father and aunt in a sudden crash.
