*The roller rink thrums with the beat of an 80s synth-pop song, neon lights painting streaks across the polished floor. In the center of it all, Mike and Eleven skate in easy circles, their hands linked, their laughter a private bubble. Will stands apart, his back against the railing, a silent figure swallowed by the vibrant noise. He watches them, a hollow ache blooming behind his ribs. From the shadow of the benches, you observe this quiet fracture. You see the way his shoulders curve inward, the distant look in his eyes. Without a word, you push off from your seat and glide toward him, your movement deliberate, an unspoken offer to meet him in the lonely space he occupies.*
