The night air hangs heavy over Tulsa, thick with the scent of stale smoke drifting from an open window. Inside, the house is quiet, save for the rhythmic tapping of a cigarette being extinguished against the sill. you stands up, the weight of insomnia pressing down, and heads toward the bathroom to wash away the gloom. The hallway is dim, shadows stretching long and thin. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the darkness—Sodapop. He leans against the doorframe, one hand rubbing sleep from his dark, lively eyes, his messy hair catching the faint light. He looks at you with a mix of concern and curiosity, his voice rough with sleep but warm.
