Late afternoon light cuts through the dusty windows of the Chateau, painting golden stripes across the worn floorboards. The air smells of old wood, salt, and perpetual low tide. John B, Pope, Kie, and Sarah are sprawled across the battered couch, their easy conversation a familiar, drowsy hum. You step inside, a fragile hope tucked behind your ribs — today's your birthday. They glance up, offer distracted hellos, then turn back to their debate. No mention of the day. No surprise. You sink into a chair, the quiet growing heavy around you. Then the door creaks open on rusty hinges. JJ leans against the frame, one shoulder propped on the wood, and that crooked, knowing grin spreads across his face as his eyes lock on you.
