Scene 19

They keep saying your name, you think.

→ No one has said your name...

Select

Everyone sounds almost familiar.

→ Was this worth the hours of preparation?

Select

You could join in if you wanted—if they wanted.

→ They’ll stop the moment you try.

Select

Someone is talking over you, quietly.

→ You were probably boring them

Select

The song changed when you started vibing.

→ Did they notice you?

Select

You want another drink too, don’t you?

→ You were staring so much, they poured one for you.

Select

You should probably stop them

→ They’re not watching what they’re doing

Select

You didn’t mean to flinch at the sound.

→ Everyone saw; they giggled and looked away.

Select

Is everyone looking at you?

→ What did you do this time…

Select

That drink reminds you of a family member

→ Why don't you ever visit anymore?

Select

What are they laughing about this time?

→ I bet they were laughing at you.

Select

Why didn't you laugh with them?

→ You missed your cue again.

Select

They stop when you start.

→ They liked it better when you were quiet.

Select

You look around for clues.

→ How bout you try paying attention next time?

Select

Don’t ask what was funny.

→ You already know, it was probably you.

Select

You made that sound, didn’t you?

→ Maybe it just feels louder because no one is speaking.

Select

They’re still looking over.

→ Are they waiting for you to look back first?

Select

It wasn’t your fault.

→ You said that before anyone asked.

Select

You could apologize.

→ You do that when you dont know what else to say dont you?

Select

Someone breathes in too sharply.

→ You match the rhythm so they don’t notice.

Select

It’s warm tonight.

→ Are you the only one noticing it?

Select

Someone opens a window.

→ You didn’t ask them to, but it feels great.

Select

The hum follows you.

→ No, it’s been there the whole time.

Select

You think of standing up.

→ There's no reason. They’d wonder why. What if they follow?

Select

Everyone looks comfortable.

→ Why aren't you?

Select

It reminds you of home.

→ That can’t be right; home never smelled this careful.

Select

Why is no one commenting on it?

→ Maybe it's just you.

Select

Do you think it's kind of pleasant?

→ What if they are covering something else?

Select

Someone asks about dessert.

→ You hope they’re joking, you just want to go home

Select

You inhale again to be sure.

→ It’s stronger now.

Select

Everyone has heard this before…

→ Should you tell them?

Select

They leave out a part you remember.

→ Did you imagine it?

Select

You wait for the laugh.

→ It sounds rehearsed.

Select

You nod along.

→ That’s what they expect.

Select

The story ends the same way.

→ You still don’t know why it matters.

Select

It’s not yours.

→ You still check your pocket.

Select

No one moves.

→ Who is being ignored?

Select

The sound is getting annoying

→ Only for you, no one else seems to mind..

Select

People laugh to fill the gap.

Select

Should you answer it?

Select

You add a comment automatically. They smile.

→just like you rehearsed it.

Select

You watch the window.

→ There’s no movement outside.

Select

It really has cooled down.

→ Then why are your hands still warm?

Select

They try to continue the small talk.

→ You like this one less.

Select

You laugh softly.

→ Was that supposed to help?

Select

You hear a faint tone.

Select

Someone hums the next bar.

→ Are they off-key on purpose?

Select

You say something to fill the space.

→ No one hears you.

Select

Silence settles again.

→ Almost like it was agreed on.

Select

Someone restarts the playlist.

Select

They didn’t notice you standing right by the door

→ you’re just that unremarkable arent you?

Select

You turn slightly.

→ Too slow to catch up with them.

Select

The door closes itself.

→ Missed opportunity

Select

Are they leaving already?

→ Its probably something you said.

Select

You peak out the window to see what they’re doing.

→ they know you’re watching.

Select

You try to remember their names.

→ are you really this superficial?

Select

The conversation feels memorized

→ You missed your line.

Select

Someone waves, you wave back.

→ That wasn’t for you.

Select

Who even are these people?

→ Why are you here?

Select

You just want to make friends.

→ Thats the only reason you came here

Select

It’s fine.

→ Nobody said it wasn’t

Select

We all exhaled together.

Select

You reach for the glass.

→ Someone grabs it and moves away.

Select

Someone chuckles softly.

→ What was that about?

Select

You wipe the ring anyway.

→ The table feels cold.

Select

You nod as if you followed.

Select

They’re talking faster now.

→ You must look so confused.

Select

You think about the last topic.

→ You still had so much to say, why didn’t you?

Select

Someone glances at you.

Select

The new story begins.

→ People forget so fast…

Select

You look at the chair again.

→ I hope they’re okay..

Select

Someone sets a glass in front of it.

Select

You ask who’s missing.

Select

You try not to stare, but can't help it.

→ Why is there still a full table set?

Select

The conversation keeps moving around the space.

→ It’s easier to pretend the seat is filled now.

Select

You raise yours halfway, before realizing

Select

Someone clears their throat.

→ Everyone glares at them, like a silent judgement

Select

They all look like they belong

→ Is there something you missed?

Select

You laugh to cover the pause.

Select

You start the cheers

→ Are you sure they were even done talking?

Select

You start counting.

Select

You try to catch someone’s eye, but they look past you

→ Why are you even here?

Select

The quiet feels heavier now.

→ You should probably say something.

Select

Someone laughs, brief and tired. But keeping their composure

Select

You listen for your name.

→ Does anyone even know you’re here?

Select

They beat you to it.

Select

You smile to show you don’t mind.

→ Stop forcing it

Select

Someone tips the bottle anyway.

→ They’re trying to prove a point.

Select

You glance toward the kitchen.

→ Could it be any better in there?

Select

You wonder if there’s another bottle.

→ You can’t be the one to check, what would everyone think?

Select

You pick up your fork again

→ There’s nothing left on the plate, idiot.

Select

Someone asks if you’re finished.

Select

You reach for your glass.

Select

The table feels uneven.

→ Things don't feel like they once did.

Select

You smile at nothing in particular.

→ Someone smiles back, out of habit.

Select

You should offer to help.

Select

Someone thanks you for coming.

→ You didn’t say you were leaving…

Select

The light feels dimmer now

Select

People are already saying goodbye.

Select

Don’t just stand there. DO something

→ stop being so useless
