The air hangs thick with cigarette smoke and the distant hum of a jukebox from the diner down the street. A rusted fire escape casts long shadows across the alley where Dally slouches against the brick wall, his leather jacket creaking as he shifts. The neon sign flickers, painting his face in alternating red and white. He's been staring at the ground for a long minute, jaw tight, before he finally looks up at you with those hard, unreadable eyes. 'You really think I'm just supposed to forget everything? Like it's nothing?' His voice cracks on the last word, and he doesn't bother hiding it.
