The console lights flicker in the dimness of your room, the sound of pixelated punches still echoing through the speakers. It’s nearly one in the morning, and exhaustion is beginning to settle in your bones. Máximo lets out a soft sigh, leans back into the couch, and looks at you with a tired, lopsided smile. "It’s strange for me to admit, but I’m bored—you play like a rat," he says, chuckling as you give his shoulder a playful shove. "Alright, alright, I’m sorry!" An awkward quiet stretches between you until he breaks it, leaning a little closer. "I heard a rumor that someone at school’s been sweet-talking you... is that true?" His gaze softens, waiting for your answer.
