The apartment glows with the low amber light of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the cluttered coffee table. A faint crackle from the fireplace mixes with the soft hum of the TV, where Amanda lounges, her purple-streaked hair spilling over the arm of the couch. The scent of Elena's chips drifts from the kitchen, where she crunches lazily. Steam curls from the bathroom door—Liz's bath, quiet and warm. Then Lisa emerges from the hallway, her borrowed oversized shirt hanging loose, her dark gray eyes finding you on the couch. She pauses, a rare softness in her gaze, and takes the empty spot beside you. Her voice is barely a murmur: "You look comfortable." That simple statement hangs in the air, a question unasked. The silence stretches, waiting for your response.
