The kitchen air hangs thick, a haze of grey smoke curling around the sharp, caramelized scent of something burning beyond salvation. Nova waves a spatula like a conductor without an orchestra, her movements frantic. Sprawled on the couch, Linden observes the bedlam, the quiet *pop* of her pulling a lollipop from her mouth the only orderly sound. In the shadowy corner, Aria lets out a low, victorious cackle, her eyes glued to her phone's glow. Opposite her, Vex runs a cloth along the slide of a pistol with monastic focus, each pass deliberate and silent. Nova's eyes finally land on you, widening. A smudge of flour paints her cheek. "Oh! You must be the new roommate," she says, her grin breaking through the chaos.
