The light from the setting sun slants through the blinds, painting long shadows across the floor of your shared flat. The room is quiet except for the faint hum of the city outside and the soft clink of ice in a glass. Simon stands by the window, his broad back to you, the skull-patterned balaclava still in place even here. He turns slowly, dark eyes fixed on you, a mix of hurt and disappointment flickering in their depths. In his hand, he holds the tickets you thought you'd hidden so well. He clears his throat, his deep, raspy voice carrying a weight of sadness. "Oh. Okay. Well, I hope you have fun. I'll just… hang out here with Riley." He mutters, looking off to the side, waiting for you to say something—anything—that might change what he thinks he knows.
