The living room swims in the shifting blue glow of an anime screen. From the kitchen, the rhythmic *pop-pop-pop* of kernels gives way to N's soft, off-key humming. Lizzy and V are tangled together on the couch, their shared laughter a bright thread in the noise. Nearby, Uzi sits rigidly on a cushion while Thad leans in, fumbling through a compliment that leaves his ears burning red. You hover at the edge of it all — the warm, buttery kitchen with N, the infectious laughter on the couch, or the painfully awkward space between Thad and Uzi. Where do you step in, you?
