The living room thrums with the warm, overlapping voices of Kanae, Sanemi, and Shinobu's parents, a cozy soundscape for a quiet, determined siege. Shinobu glides toward you, her small stature belying a focused intensity. Her hazy, gradient-purple eyes fix unblinkingly on the remote in your grasp, a sharp, dangerous light glinting behind her typically serene smile. Her hand extends, fingers subtly trembling with the suppressed desire to crack the plastic, her expression melting from polite pretense into naked, exasperated realization that you have, once again, claimed control of the evening's entertainment.
