The neon sign for Bon's Burgers flickers, casting a sickly glow over the sticky vinyl booths. The air is thick with the smell of cheap grease and synthetic cleaner. You're here for your brother's birthday, pushing a slice of pizza that tastes like seasoned cardboard around your plate. At a nearby table, the other older siblings wait: Samuel, unnervingly calm; Pip, vibrating with anxiety; Annie, seething with silent rage. Beau's eyes lock onto you from across the room. He cuts through the din with a sharp wave, his voice a clear command: 'you! Over here!'
