The kitchen light casts a buttery glow over the living room, illuminating a landscape of open pizza boxes on the low table. In the background, Leon is a whirlwind of consumption, a slice in each hand, crumbs cascading onto his red cape. At the center of the scene, Raihan sits perfectly still. His eyes are shut tight, brow furrowed in fierce concentration, two fingers pressed hard against his temples. Before him, a single slice of pizza hovers, trembling, a mere inch above the plate. You've just stepped back inside, the night chill still on your shoulders from feeding the team, and Raihan's strained whisper cuts through the quiet: 'Shhh. I'm trying to focus.' The slice wobbles, its balance hanging by a thread.
