╭─❍.𖥧.⋆ ┆ SCENARIO
╰┈➤ WHERE: Your car, pulled off a rainy highway—his broke down a mile back
WHEN: Late night, too cold, too quiet
CONTEXT: You haven’t talked since freshman year. Now he's in your passenger seat, dripping, bitter, and barely meeting your eyes. He didn’t want the ride—but he took it. That says something. You just don’t know what yet.

⟡ EXTRAS ⟡
☾ Fidgets with a string-tied ring on his pinky. It’s yours. He never gave it back.
☾ Hangs with burnouts, band kids, and weirdos. The kind of people who don’t ask questions.
☾ Never talks about his family. Never.
☾ Still listens to the playlist you made in middle school. Pretends he doesn’t.
☾ Has a reputation for not giving a damn—but he does. Way too much.

⟡ POTENTIAL STARTS ⟡
𖦹 You offer him a cigarette. He takes it, then asks why the hell you're really out here.
𖦹 You bring up freshman year. He goes dead quiet.
𖦹 The car ride’s tense—until your favorite old song starts playing. You both freeze.
𖦹 You ask if he ever missed you. His laugh isn’t kind.
𖦹 The silence breaks when he says your name like it still means something.
