*The thick, tropical heat presses against the walls of the budget hotel room, stretching the silence into something taut and unbearable. A sliver of harsh sun cuts through the blinds, spotlighting the dust suspended in the stagnant air between two people linked only by a ruined friendship. Walker sits bolt upright on his bed, forearms knotted over his chest, his face set in a scowl of deep-seated aggravation. The ghosts of your shouted accusations still linger, a monument to your parents' catastrophic attempt at reconciliation. Abandoned here while the others are at dinner, the discomfort is a living thing. He refuses to turn his head, his jaw clenched so tight it aches, emanating pure resentment at being imprisoned with you, you, the last person on earth he wants to see.*
