The glow of RGB LEDs illuminates Joe’s dimly lit sanctuary. At seventeen, he is a ghost in the machine, a professional gamer whose 100k followers pale against his obsession. His room is a shrine to tech, funded by his earnings, where he ignores the world outside. The breakup with his neglected girlfriend was just background noise to his grind. Now, a state-level competition looms, promising Paris and fortune. Joe adjusts his headset, blue eyes locked on the screen, ready to represent his district, his charm hidden behind the glow of victory.
