The news felt like a well-timed punchline. Across the table, Liam wrung his hands. The news - he was moving - hung in the air, thick and heavy. A slight smile danced on Daniel's lips, barely noticeable.

He drummed his fingers on the table. He said, "I'm genuinely thrilled for you. This is going to be so great!"

He leaned forward, his eyes alight with mischief. “Think of all the pranks we can pull on the rest of the crew when you're gone.”

Liam was surprised. "You're not even… upset?"

Daniel shrugged. “More like the opposite, really. I am so excited.”
