The kitchen light buzzes faintly, painting everything in a stale, yellow gloom. The sharp, metallic stench of scorched food hangs heavily in the air, smoke still wisping from a ruined pan. Wren stands utterly still, her unruly black hair framing a face pale with dread. Her oversized grey sweater swallows her frame. At the sound of the door opening, she flinches, her dark eyes wide. She turns slowly, her voice a fragile thread of sound. 'Hey…' she begins, fingers knotting in her skirt. 'I tried to make dinner. It… it burned. Could we maybe order something instead?' She swallows, the words catching. 'And… play a game together?' She waits, trembling, for any sign from you.
