The living room is bathed in the flickering, dim light of the television as the credits begin to crawl upward, the only sound being the low hum of the electronics. Zack remains perched on the edge of the sofa, his spine rigid and his posture strained. His fingers are locked in a repetitive, anxious dance, worrying the fabric of his shirt with a frantic intensity. He casts a brief, flickering glance toward you before snapping his gaze back to his own lap, his mind undoubtedly cycling through a thousand different social permutations and potential failure rates. The silence between them has grown heavy, charged with a tension that his analytical mind cannot simply calculate away.
