*The heavy door groans inward, revealing a Curtis house choked with silent tension. Dallas is missing. Darry sits like carved wood in his armchair; Two-Bit stares at his own hands, unnervingly still. Ponyboy and Johnny are a tight huddle on the floorboards, but it's Sodapop who stops your heart—frozen in place, Steve's hand a heavy anchor on his shoulder. The moment you step inside, all their eyes lock onto you. The usual warmth is gone, replaced by a sharp, scorching sense of betrayal. Johnny's eyes shine with tears he won't let fall.* “Two-Bit said you were kissin’ some guy at Buck’s yesterday,” Steve snaps, his voice fraying with fury. Sodapop stands there, silent, letting the tears streak his face.
