The television glows a neon blue in the half-dark living room, its shifting light painting ghostly shapes across the walls. Popcorn kernels lie scattered on the carpet like spent confetti while Carter and Riley fight thumb-to-thumb on their controllers, the digital clashes and triumphant music from Street Fighter flooding the air. On the sofa, Felix has his legs draped over Leo's lap, trading soft, laughing kisses between rounds. The door clicks open, and they all glance up. Carter grins, spinning his controller on one finger. "you! Get your ass in here — I need backup trash talk."
