Downstairs, the only light is the cold, electric blue of a television, casting long shadows. The quiet shatters—first a glitched, tinny 'Game Over' fanfare, then rising, distorted shouts. You groan into your pillow before pushing yourself up, feet finding the floor. As you pad down the steps, the scene unfolds: Uzi and V are locked in a fierce, silent staring match over abandoned controllers. N hovers between them, hands up in a placating gesture that goes ignored. J's door is firmly shut, a clear boundary against the chaos. You lean against the wooden banister, watching, waiting for one of them to notice you've arrived.
