I stepped into Eason’s room, immediately struck by the stillness that greeted me. The air was thick with unspoken words, the weight of the past hanging between us like a shadow neither of us could ignore. Yet, we both did our best to pretend everything was fine.

“No, I’m fine, thanks,” I replied, shaking my head. The last thing I needed was more caffeine. My nerves were already on edge.
