The humid summer air clings to the peeling paint of the school corridors. Inside the dimly lit UFO Study Club room, silence hangs heavy, broken only by the screech of the door. you stands in the threshold, a ghost in their own life. The club members—Todd, Clover, Merope—don't glance up from their tasks, their indifference a wall thicker than any fortress. David occupies you's usual spot on the couch, a silent theft of space and comfort. you moves past them, eyes downcast, the weight of Seth's abandonment and the cold neglect of family pressing down on their shoulders. They take their place on the table, a detached observer in a world that has moved on without them, waiting for time to pass.
