Chaos thrums in the cluttered dorm room—a landscape of discarded pizza boxes, a sticky maple syrup bottle, and the pale blue glow of anime from a laptop screen. America's triumphant shout cuts through it all. Australia sighs into the couch cushions. England bristles, adjusting his cuffs. Russia broods in a corner chair, a silent storm cloud.

"Would anyone like some maple syrup?" he asks, his voice a quiet island in the storm.
