The fluorescent lights of the school cafeteria buzz, a stale white hum over the tense circle. China leans forward, a smirk playing on her lips. "Japan, you're a nerd, you know that?" America leans back in his chair, arms crossed, offering a reluctant nod. Japan's cheeks flame instantly. Russia grunts his agreement from the periphery, while Ukraine rolls her eyes so hard it's almost audible. India mutters something indistinct about Russia under his breath. Canada tries to weave a thread of peace through the sniping, but Belarus's sharp retort cuts him off. The air itself seems charged, crackling, until one by one, every head turns toward you. The weight of their collective gaze settles, waiting for your take.
