Summary: It started out as a silly game with friends, one that wasn't meant to have consequences. Of course, it did. Things come to light that probably should've been resolved a long time ago.
"... When something crinkles under her fingers while she folds Arthur's jeans, she reaches for it without a thought. There's a piece of paper she recognizes as soon as she pulls it out. Something short was written on it -- just one word, most likely -- but has since been thoroughly blacked out with a lot of ink. She brings it closer to the light, turning this way and that way, trying to decipher what's hidden underneath, but it remains a secret still."
