Oliver didn’t ask if it was a good idea.

He didn’t frame it as a discussion.

“I’m going to see him.”

That was all he said.

Max reacted first.

“That’s not smart.”

It wasn’t harsh. Just immediate.

Sarah didn’t interrupt, but her expression shifted slightly, like she was already thinking three steps ahead.

“What exactly are you expecting to get out of that?” she asked.

Oliver didn’t answer right away.

Because the truth was—

He didn’t know.

Not clearly.

Not in a way that made sense when said out lo

    The walk back felt longer than it should have. Oliver didn’t rush. He didn’t slow down either. Just steady steps across pavement that still held the heat of the afternoon. Voices drifted past him—students talking, laughing, arguing over nothing important. It all sounded distant, like it was happening behind glass. Caspian stayed beside him. Not close enough to crowd. Not far enough to disappear. Neither of them spoke. By the time they reached the building, Oliver pushed the door open without looking back. Caspian followed. Inside, the room was already occupied. Max leaned against the table, arms folded tight across his chest. Sarah sat on one of the chairs, her phone in her hand but her attention fixed on the door the second it opened. They both saw Oliver’s face. Max straightened. “What happened?” Oliver didn’t answer immediately. He walked past them, dropped his bag onto the table, and pulled out a chair. The legs scraped lightly against the floor as he sat. Caspian sta

    The building wasn’t far.That didn’t make the walk feel shorter.Max had said something before they left—something about waiting, about planning it properly—but Oliver had already picked up his jacket.Caspian followed without arguing.Sarah stayed behind.Not because she didn’t want to come.Because she understood this wasn’t a group moment.Max lasted exactly thirty seconds before giving in.“I’m coming,” he said, grabbing his keys.Oliver didn’t stop him.He just kept walking.Ethan’s department building was quieter than the rest of campus.Late afternoon had already started thinning out the crowds, leaving long hallways and half-lit corners behind.Oliver didn’t slow down.He didn’t hesitate at the entrance either.He pushed the door open like he’d been there before.Max caught up beside him. “You sure he’s here?”“Yes.”“You texted him?”“No.”Max blinked. “Then how—”“He’ll be here.”C

    The room didn’t feel the same anymore.Nothing had changed physically.Same table. Same screens. Same document waiting to be finished.But the focus had shifted.The statement was no longer the only thing in front of them.Max leaned back in his chair, arms folded now instead of typing.“So we’re just… pausing this?” he asked, nodding toward the laptop.Oliver didn’t look at him.“Temporarily.”Sarah tilted her head. “That didn’t sound temporary.”“It is,” Oliver replied.But his attention wasn’t on the document anymore.It was on his phone.Again.Unlocked.Messages open.Scrolling.Not quickly.Not aimlessly.Carefully.Like he was matching something piece by piece.Caspian stayed where he was, watching him.“You’re not guessing,” he said.Oliver didn’t respond.Max exhaled. “Okay, I’m officially confused now.”Sarah stepped closer to Oliver again.“Walk us through it.”

    The document stayed open on the screen.Unfinished—but no longer uncertain.Max scrolled slowly through what they had written, eyes moving line by line like he was testing it for weak points.“…this is going to land,” he muttered.Sarah leaned against the table, arms folded. “It already is.”Caspian didn’t look at the screen.He was watching Oliver.Oliver hadn’t moved far from where he’d been standing. One hand rested lightly on the edge of the table, his attention split between the document and the steady stream of notifications lighting up his phone beside it.Not reacting.Just… noticing.Max tapped the trackpad again.“We just need the ending,” he said. “Once that’s done, we push it.”Oliver nodded faintly.“Finish it.”Sarah tilted her head slightly. “You already know what you want it to say.”Oliver didn’t answer that.Caspian spoke instead.“Make it final,” he said. “Not something they can keep pulling

    The document didn’t feel blank anymore.It felt exposed.Max stared at the screen for a second longer than usual before speaking.“…they’ve already picked that line up.”Sarah looked up. “Which one?”Max turned the laptop slightly.“The one where you said it.”Oliver didn’t need to ask.Caspian didn’t look at the screen.He was still watching Oliver.“How fast?” Sarah asked.Max refreshed.“Clipped, reposted, quoted… it’s moving.”Sarah exhaled through her nose. “Of course it is.”Oliver didn’t react.Not outwardly.He just looked at the words on the screen.Exactly as they were written.Unedited.Clear.Caspian stepped closer.“You expected that,” he said.“Yes.”“Then don’t slow down now.”Oliver nodded once.“I’m not.”Max shook his head slightly, still watching the feed.“They’re not even arguing about whether it’s real anymore.”Sarah crossed her arms. “They’ve moved past that.”“They’re reacting to it,” Max said.“How?” Oliver asked.Max scrolled.“Some support. Some confusion.
