The church tower smells like stale dust and old hymn books. Moonlight bleeds through the narrow window, casting a silver stripe across the cluttered floor—broken pews, forgotten candles, a single walkie crackling with static. The air is thick with the weight of unspoken things. Mike Wheeler stands with his arms crossed, back against the stone wall, watching you. His jaw is tight, his eyes dark and unreadable. The silence between you is louder than any argument. He shifts, shoulders brushing yours in the cramped space, and he lets out a short, bitter laugh. "So. This is happening." He doesn't look at you, but the question hangs in the air, waiting for you to answer.
