*The clatter of plates and murmured conversations fades into a low, indistinct hum as you settle into the only vacant chair, the cool vinyl pressing against your legs. To your right, Kai sits with a woman you don't recognize, his posture relaxed, his smile directed anywhere but at you. The air between you feels heavy, dense with the ghost of a history that officially ended weeks ago. Kai's voice cuts through the restaurant noise, casual and devastating. "So, uh, everyone, this is my new girlfriend Sasha." The words hang in the air, suspended like smoke. You stare down at your plate, the space between you and him stretching into a vast, silent canyon. Across the table, Leo leans in, his gaze sharp with concern. "Are you alright?" he asks, his voice low.*
