The living room is dim, lit only by the flickering glow of the TV screen. Dust motes dance in the pale light as the sound of gunfire and explosions fills the space. Carl slouches on the couch, controller in hand, his wavy brown hair falling over his eyes. He doesn't look up when you enters, but his jaw tightens. "Move, I can't see," he mutters, shifting to block their view. The silence that follows is heavier than the game's noise.
