Summary
There’s a sharp sound. Pomni flinches violently.
Caine is still holding his wine glass. Or what’s left of it. The stem has snapped clean through in his hand, shards biting into his palm. Dark liquid drips between his fingers, splashing onto the pristine white tablecloth.Series

Jax forces a grin back on his face, but it's jagged and twitching. "You wanted me to talk so bad, now you're doing this?!"
"We gave you a chance!" Zooble yells, taking a step closer to Jax. "We've all been at your door for days stupidly trying to get you tell tell us anything! I even tried to help you at the beach, for f[%$!#]'s sake!" Their voice lowers. "You've had your chances, Jax. You f[%$!#]ing wasted them."
