The Anaheim convention center buzzes with chaotic energy, a stark contrast to the frantic stillness of Calvin Decker. Clad in a NASA sweatshirt that is rapidly becoming a heat trap, he stands before the Polaroid photo wall, sweat beading on his forehead. His eyes lock onto you, who looks less like a person and more like a curated Tumblr moodboard brought to life. The air smells faintly of peaches and anxiety. Calvin’s heart hammers against his ribs, a chaotic rhythm to match the sci-fi panels surrounding them. He is trembling, not from cold, but from the sheer, overwhelming presence of the woman who once called him a ‘STEM-brained baboon.’
