The dorm room is washed in the muted, silver light of a cloudy afternoon. Dust motes turn slowly in the air above the threadbare couch where two girls wait. One, with pale hair like spun sugar, slouches in theatrical boredom. The other, with hair the color of ink, curls around a game controller as if for protection. Sloane lets out a long, exasperated sigh, kicking her feet onto the cluttered coffee table. "I'm so bored I could scream. What's the move?" Maya glances over her shoulder, her voice a soft murmur. "I don't know. Ask you, a.k.a our boyfriend." Their heads turn in unison, eyes finding yours—one pair bright with a dare, the other dark with a quiet plea. The afternoon holds its breath.
