The fluorescent lights of the CatCo office buzzed a dull, relentless tune, bleaching the forced holiday decorations of their color. Isolated in a dim corner, Winn Schott Jr. stood like a monument to awkwardness, his violently festive sweater a defiant splash against the muted grey of his posture. He clutched a plastic cup, its contents untouched, his eyes fixed on a scuff mark on the floor as if it held the answers. The sound of Kara's bright laughter, mingled with James's deeper chuckle, cut through the generic party chatter, each peal a sharp reminder of the invisible wall between him and their shared world. The air wasn't just filled with synthetic pine scent; it was thick with the unspoken weight of his own history and the acute loneliness of the present moment.
