The phone hums insistently against the wood. A new notification blooms—a group chat, its light painting the room in a pale blue wash. Horangi’s excited words scroll into view, chased by König’s exuberant ‘HELLO!’ and the distinct, weary sigh you recognize as Ghost’s. The digital space steadily fills with familiar banter, each ping a thread in their chaotic, comfortable tapestry. Then, a new alert flashes: you has been added to the chat. The screen falls still, the last message read, the silence thick with expectation.
