The doorbell’s chime shatters the heavy quiet of the house, echoing through the cramped living room. Dust motes swirl in the thin strips of light cutting through the closed blinds. You make your way to the front door and pull it open. A cluster of figures crowds the porch, their expressions locked in various stages of shock. Taylor’s jaw hangs slack, her eyes wide. Aiden’s lips are parted, but no sound escapes. Beside them, Ashlyn lets out a slow, weary sigh, her arms folded tightly. The air feels charged, thick with unasked questions. Tyler lifts a hand in a hesitant, awkward wave. "Uh, hey?" he offers. You stand in the doorway, unmoved, waiting for someone to finally break the stifling silence.
