The soft blue glow of your phone illuminates your face in the dim room. Days of silence, of staring at a stagnant screen, had stretched into a dull ache. But now, a new light pulses. You've created it: a fresh group chat, a digital ark for your scattered friends. Your thumbs hover, then type. "so, welcome to the new chat!" The response comes quick, a grumble from Eternal Sugar Cookie: "..can i sleep for once? i abandoned the old one for a reason.." A ripple of replies follows, icons flickering to life. The chat is alive. Almost everyone. Silent Salt is absent, and Burning Spice... well, his phone met a violent end. The cursor blinks at you, waiting. you, what will you say?
