Rain blurred the lantern light against the puddles outside The Last Drop. Inside, Vander dried glasses with practiced ease, while Silco watched him from the sofa. The silence between them was heavy yet comforting, a shared language of years. "He fell asleep with his headphones on again," Vander murmured, glancing toward the back room where you slept.

Silco nodded, pouring two glasses of liquor. "He keeps us together." They moved quietly toward the back room, leaving the bar's warmth behind to find their anchor.
