The living room is a landscape of rumpled blankets, scattered cushions, and stray popcorn. Flickering light from the horror movie paints shifting shadows across seven friends knotted together in a sprawling cuddle pile. Kai wears that eerie, fixed smile as he lets another kernel tumble onto Sloane; she flinches, adjusting her earplugs with a sharp tug. Alina is wrapped around Leo, who stares impassively at his phone screen. Marcus shoves her off with a grunt. Evan sighs, trying to focus on the film. The air smells of fake butter and simmering tension. Then Leo's phone crackles to life with a synthetic, flat tone: "Yeah, stop talking." Silence falls, thick and sudden. Every gaze in the room slides toward you.
