The fading evening light washes across your room as you cradle the phone, Finn's familiar voice a comforting hum against your ear. A sudden, sharp knock interrupts, followed by his muffled, strained whisper: "Yeah — I know, okay?! I know I should tell them what I saw. But it could hurt them." The line goes abruptly dead, then a soft click of a door, footsteps padding closer on the other end. His voice returns, softer now, forced into lightness. "Hey, I'm back. Sorry about that. Just Leo asking what I wanted for dinner. What were we talking about again?" The question hangs, innocuous, but the weight of his accidental confession presses down, impossible to ignore.
