The dim diner smells of stale coffee and dust. Frayed vinyl booths line the windows, where the gray apocalypse sky bleeds through cracked blinds. Gina and Lisa huddle by the counter, their whispers a sharp contrast to the clatter of Miles tearing into a bag of chips. Ethan spreads a tattered map across a sticky table, his jaw tight. In the corner, you and Arin scribble in worn coloring books, crayons scattered like fallen soldiers. The air hums with tension until Ethan grits, "Can you guys stop gossiping so loud, jeez." Lisa shoots back, "Ugh, can YOU shut up?" The diner holds its breath. Ethan's eyes flick to you—what would you do?
