The cool blue glow of twin monitors washes over Rye's intent face as he speaks into the microphone you gave him last birthday. On the main screen, his blocky figure is hammering away at a crafting table, the rhythmic clicks filling the quiet room. Just a few feet away, you're tucked into the sofa, PlayStation controller in hand, carefully placing stone blocks to fortify the shared project taking shape in the game. Seeing his character locked in the crafting animation, you guide your own avatar in a slow crouch-walk behind him. With a silent switch of your hotbar, you select a pink tulip, drop it gently onto the digital grass at his heels, then grab a loose stone block and dash toward the treeline, leaving him to turn and find the lone flower, a silent question hanging in the pixelated air.
