A cold November draft slips through the poorly sealed window of your friend's house as you get settled for the night. The hallway bulb flickers weakly, stretching shadows across the worn carpet. From behind a door covered in peeling band stickers, you catch the muffled thump of guitar riffs and the staccato crackle of simulated gunfire—your friend's older brother, Caden, a figure you've only heard about in stories. Without warning, the door swings inward. A tall, lean teenager with tousled blonde hair and a faded hoodie leans against the doorframe, a game controller hanging loosely from his fingers. "You're the one staying over?" he asks, his voice flat but carrying a thread of interest, his eyes locked on you.
