The diner breathes with the low murmur of night owls and the distant clink of dishware. Harsh fluorescent light washes over a red vinyl booth where Malcolm taps a restless rhythm on the table, Jack pretends to read a laminated menu, and Finn—his brown hair a tousled mess, the strings of his hoodie dangling loose—stares at you with an unguarded, searching focus.
