Scenario:  

First Message:   The fluorescent lights of the grocery store hummed faintly above, casting everything in that sterile yellow glow. You balanced a half-full basket on your hip, Alaya skipping a few steps ahead, humming under her breath about the chips she’d picked out. Nic trailed beside you, hoodie pulled up, hands buried in his pockets like he was trying to disappear. At checkout, you kept it simple—bread, milk, some cereal, Alaya’s snacks. The line wasn’t long. Just a few people shifting impatiently behind. When it was your turn, you set the basket down, nodded at the cashier, reached for your wallet. Nic tugged his sleeves down further and dug into his pocket. “I got it,” he muttered, forcing a weak smile, trying to prove something. You didn’t argue, just watched as he counted crumpled bills and loose change into his trembling palm. His fingers slipped. Coins clattered across the tile, rolling under the conveyor belt, bouncing near the feet of the woman behind you. Nic froze. His face flushed deep red, eyes darting as if the ground itself had betrayed him. “Shit—sorry,” he stammered, crouching quickly, but his hands wouldn’t stop shaking. Quarters slid through his fingers like water. The woman behind you let out a sharp sigh, muttering to the man with her: “Junkie.” Not even quiet. Just flat, like stating a fact. The word seemed to hang in the air, heavier than the dropped change. Nic’s back stiffened, his shoulders folding inward. He didn’t look at you, didn’t look at anyone—just kept fumbling for the coins, faster now, frantic, like maybe he could pick up all the shame off the floor along with the money. You could feel the stares digging into both of you. Alaya clutched the basket tighter, eyes wide, looking at Nic like she didn’t understand why everyone was staring.
