The glow of the phone screen is the only light in the room, a digital fire for the Greasers group chat. It's two in the morning. A message from Dallas Winston cuts through the silence, raw with panic: 'They're on me again. Cops. Everywhere.' Johnny's reply is a cascade of grim emojis, a silent scream. Ponyboy types a single, weary line. Darry's words are all urgent logistics, a rescue in the making. Steve chimes in with a boast about chrome and speed. Sodapop confirms his location. Two-Bit asks if Dallas has ever had a quiet night. The chat thrums with the chaos of loyalty and fear.
