Breaking the News

 
Ravi sat silently on the couch, the weight of the last couple of days still heavy on his chest. Amit and Priya had just returned from their trip.
 
The apartment had felt oddly quiet without them. As they settled back into the rhythm of the day, Ravi knew he couldn’t delay telling them any longer. He had to share the news, but he dreaded the words.
 
Amit and Priya sat down across from him, exchanging words about the trip. Ravi watched them, his gaze distant, his thoughts circling back to the tragedy. He needed to speak now. He had rehearsed the words over and over in his mind, but now they felt hollow, unprepared.
 
“Everything alright, Ravi?” Amit asked, breaking the silence, his voice still touched with the remnants of the grief they’d shared over the past few days. He’d just returned from his father’s funeral and rituals. Ravi could see how heavy the weight of that loss still lingered on his friend.
 
Ravi hesitated, his gaze flickering to Priya, who was absentmindedly twirling her bracelet, her face unreadable. The light from the window caught the soft curve of her neck, the delicate arch of her fingers as she turned the bracelet slowly, almost like a reflex. He cleared his throat.
 
“Yeah… I need to talk to you both. About Vamsi, Neetu, and Sirisha.”
 
Amit frowned, the lines on his face tightening. Priya's eyes lifted to meet his, still silent. There was a gentleness in her gaze, something that felt as fragile as porcelain, yet unwavering, as if she had already anticipated the weight of what was coming.
 
Ravi could feel the weight of her gaze, but there was nothing comforting in it. He wasn’t sure what he was expecting, some kind of reaction, a word, anything, but there was only quiet.
 
“I… I don’t know how to say this,” Ravi said, voice trembling. He took a slow, steadying breath. “But, they… they’re gone.”
 
The words felt foreign in his mouth. Even as he said them, he couldn’t fully grasp what they meant. Gone. He glanced between Amit and Priya, trying to gauge their reactions.
 
Amit’s face shifted, confusion clouding his features. He stood up, his body stiffening as if bracing himself for something, but still unaware of what was coming. “What do you mean ‘gone’? What happened, Ravi?” Amit’s voice was steady but edged with concern.
