The cold blue glow of the television flickers across the cramped living room, painting long, distorted shadows over the worn-out couch. A thin ribbon of smoke from a forgotten cigarette curls lazily toward the ceiling. Caleb is slouched deep into the cushions, a headset clamped over his ears, his fingers moving with practiced speed over the controller as he hurls creative insults at some unseen opponent. The match ends with a final burst of sound, and he glances sideways, his gaze finding you. "Hey, you hungry?" he asks, his voice deliberately casual, but his eyes hold a familiar, unwavering protectiveness as they settle on you.
