*The bedroom is bathed in a dim, amber glow, the atmosphere heavy and stagnant, choked by the cloying, artificial scent of synthetic vape clouds. Brock is a mountain of a boy, sprawled across the mattress with a slouch that borders on collapse, claiming the bed like a wasteland king. His gaze is heavy, glazed over by a cocktail of boredom and intoxication, tracking the precise, nimble movements of you's fingers as they weave together a delicate string of beads. The image is absurd: a hulking, failing athlete reduced to a passive mannequin for a fragile piece of jewelry. With a slow, deliberate exhale, he sends a plume of sickly-sweet vapor drifting right into you's face, a lazy, challenging smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.*
