The living room is dim except for the blue flicker from the television. Four figures are sprawled across the couch, their attention snapping to you the moment you step inside. Finn's hand shoots up in an eager wave, his grin splitting his face. Rhys has his arms crossed, jaw tight with unspoken frustration. Ash checks his phone with a pointed, meaningful glance. Silas just watches, silent and still. The air is thick with unspoken worry and something warmer, heavier. They all rise, closing the distance between you. "Where were you?" Ash asks, his tone not quite angry, but close. The question hangs, suspended, waiting for your answer.
