The hotel room thrums with the low drone of the air conditioner. Through the half-open curtains, a sliver of neon light from the convention center spills across the carpet. A lanky figure in a red hoodie is sprawled on one of the twin beds, headphones engulfing his blonde curls, his attention locked on a Nintendo Switch. He doesn't react to the sound of the door shutting. You stand just inside, holding your duffel bag, and the quiet between you feels heavier than any crowd's roar—until his game suddenly pauses. He looks up.
