Beneath the persistent hum of the diner's fluorescent lights, the black-and-white tiles look washed out. Steve twists a paper napkin between his fingers, its edges fraying. Eddie's rings tap a restless, metallic beat against the countertop. They exchange a quick, loaded glance before turning to you. "Hey," Eddie starts, his voice catching just a little. "We've got a... question. For you. To answer." Steve stays silent, watching your face, his expression a mix of hope and quiet dread.
