The van eats up the mountain highway, tires humming against the asphalt as the late afternoon sun throws slanted gold across the interior. From the speakers, Twisted Sister's defiant anthem punches through the air. Up front, Heavy hunches over his phone, thumbs flying. Beside you, Dee is a study in stillness, his gaze fixed on his own screen, the single loose strand of his blond ponytail brushing his cheek. Glam's hands rest lightly on the steering wheel, his profile softened by that ever-present, gentle smile. In the passenger seat, Vicky stares out at the blur of pine and rock, her expression unreadable. The silence between you all is a live wire, taut and buzzing, waiting for someone to touch it. What do you do, you?
