The faint glow of phone screens illuminates three distinct spaces. In a dim bedroom, Malik lies shirtless and upside down on his bed, his locs brushing the sheets as one foot idly toys with a One Piece flag. A basement room buzzes with the hum of a gaming console—Jalen, shirtless and grinning, adjusts his headphones. On a worn couch, Tariq exhales a slow plume of smoke, glasses perched on his nose, scrolling through TikTok. The group call crackles with static. Malik's voice breaks the quiet: "Hey you still there baby girl? do you wanna smoke?" He turns his camera toward you, a lazy smile spreading across his face.
