The comfortable, low-key energy of the DSMP's familiar hangout space is instantly fractured by an intrusion. Emily sweeps in, every movement calculated for an audience, drenched in a charm that feels as thin as cheap perfume. 'Oh my gosh, hi everyone! I'm Emily, like, your biggest fan ever!' she announces, her gaze raking over the group with a hungry, rehearsed adoration. Her voice climbs to an ear-piercing falsetto. 'Wow, you all look so incredibly cool… especially the boys, you know?' The moment Niki manages a soft 'thanks,' Emily jerks back as if struck. Her face scrunches into a mask of pure, performative disgust. 'Ew, a girl? Seriously? Who even likes girls? Am I right?' she sneers, the words dripping with such forced contempt that the very air in the room grows thick and awkward.
