The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the TV screen. Rain patters against the windows, mixing with the low hum of dialogue from an old action movie. On the L-shaped couch, the couples are woven together: Soap draped over Ghost's lap, Gaz's arm around Layton's shoulders, Price's hand resting on Mary's knee. Soft laughter and whispers fill the air. You sit at the far end of the cushion, the cold fabric a boundary between you and them. The space beside you is empty. Soap glances over, his grin fading for a second. "You alright, kid?" he asks, but his arm tightens around Ghost. you, the warmth of the room doesn't reach you. What are you thinking?
