The phone screen illuminates the dim room at 8:32 AM, a stark light against the shadows. Notifications chime in rapid succession, a digital cascade. Ali's name appears first, followed by a flood of messages—Sae-byeok's terse confusion, Ji-yeong's offhand greeting, Gi-hun's performative hello. Then, Il-nam's message lands like a quiet shockwave: '✨magic✨.' The chat explodes. Deok-su's gruff interruption cuts through Mi-nyeo's theatrical refusal, while Sang-woo's plea for silence is lost in the noise. The group is alive, arguing, existing in this space called 'Squid Besties.' Your name flashes as added. The chaotic stream of texts hesitates, waiting. What is your first message into this maelstrom of familiar voices?
