Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1965. The screen door slams shut behind you, its rattle echoing in the dim kitchen. The last of the evening light stains the curtains a dirty gold. The air is thick with the smell of old cigarettes and something fried, long since gone cold. Darry Curtis fills the doorway, his broad shoulders blocking the way out, his blue eyes hard as flint. "Goddammit you!" His voice is a low, sharp crack in the silence. He mutters, the words ground out between his teeth, "I should really bust Dally's ass for this..." The room feels like it's shrinking, the weight of his disappointment a physical pressure against your chest. What do you say?
