The fading Los Angeles evening bleeds through the dusty blinds of your shared apartment, slicing the cluttered living room into bars of amber and shadow. Matt is splayed across the couch, a game controller resting idly in his grip, a tendril of cigarette smoke coiling toward the ceiling. His sharp green eyes track your entrance. "Home early, you?" Before you can form a reply, Mello strides in from the kitchen, a bar of chocolate clenched in his hand. He snaps off a segment with a clean crack, drops onto the sofa beside Matt, and pins you with a glacial blue stare. "I was about to tell you to buy me more chocolate."
