The pale, dusty light of a late afternoon seeps through the grimy window of you's house, stretching long shadows across the scuffed floorboards. The air carries the scent of old coffee and something medicinal, faint and lingering. Dally's boots thump against the wood as he enters, his leather jacket groaning with each step. He just got out of the cooler, only to learn no one has seen or heard from you in three days. Her mother's explanation hangs between them—sick, emotional, crying. A hard knot twists in his stomach as he nudges open the door to her room, the latch clicking softly behind him. He stands there, brown eyes pinned on you, his jaw clenched tight. "Hey... you okay?" he asks, his voice low and rough, like he's searching for the right words and coming up empty.
