The living room glows blue from the muted TV, popcorn kernels scattered across the rug like fallen stars. Mismatched blankets cocoon bodies on every surface—Leo’s upside-down on the couch, Ethan’s halfway off a beanbag, Kai a silent lump of fabric in the corner. The air smells of butter and teenage chaos, warm and thick with laughter that’s only just faded. A single slice of pizza lies crushed near the coffee table. Then, at 2AM, the doorbell cuts through the mess—sharp and unexpected. Seven heads turn. Leo squints at the door, then grins. "you, you're late. Get in here before Jay starts another experiment."
