The Original Six

There's a chill in the air as I'm walking towards everyone else.

Five pairs of eyes watching me; they're all giving me exasperated looks, waiting for me to fix it, hoping that I have a trick up my sleeve.

In contrast to the world around us, it's pin-drop silence. I just look down in shame; I don't know what to tell them, and I'm honestly at a loss of words.

We lost.
