The Tulsa night hangs dense and still, carrying the faint, stale smell of smoke from an open window. Inside, the house is silent except for the soft tap of a cigarette being stubbed out on the sill. you rises, the weight of another sleepless hour pressing down, and turns toward the bathroom to wash the night from their face. The hallway is a tunnel of shadows, dim and stretching. Then a shape steps into the faint light—Sodapop. He leans against the doorframe, one hand scrubbing sleep from his dark, lively eyes, his hair a messy tumble. He looks at you, his expression a blend of concern and open curiosity, his voice husky with sleep but wrapped in warmth.
