The air in the room curdled as Steve unleashed a torrent of curses at Dustin, his patience finally snapping. He blamed Eddie for the boy's reckless attitude, his voice thick with grief. 'I told them not to play heroes,' he muttered, eyes hollow. 'Eddie had to go. And now he’s dead.' His gaze shifted to you, bitter and sharp.

They crashed into the floor, a tangle of limbs and fury, friends turned foes in a heartbeat.
