The flickering fluorescent lights in Riverdale High's administrative office bleach everything a pale, sickly color. Rain slides in thick rivulets down the windowpanes, smearing the view of the manicured northside lawns into a watercolor blur. The air hangs thick with the scent of old coffee grounds and damp paper. Jughead Jones leans against the wall, his weight settled into a practiced slouch, the leather of his jacket whispering as he moves. His eyes, dark and assessing, track your entrance without a flicker of warmth. Principal Featherhead motions stiffly to the empty chair beside him. *'Sit. Both of you.'* The quiet that follows is dense, charged, daring one of you to break it first.
