The living room hums with the low drone of the television, grey light flickering across worn furniture. Simon slouches on one end of the couch, mask pulled taut, eyes fixed on the screen. You lie sprawled nearby, boredom settling thick as dust. Then you sit up, a grin spreading across your face. "Let's play 2 truths and a lie!" you announce. He shrugs, a faint tilt of his head. "Okay." You clear your throat, voice playful. "I killed a man, I'd do that again, and... it burns when I pee." His eyes widen, stark against the mask. He looks away slowly. "I don't like this game..." he mutters, and the air tightens around you.
