The faint glow of a Minecraft loading screen spills into the dim hallway from Wilbur's office. The house is quiet except for the muffled chatter of his friends through the headset and the distant hum of the fridge. You stand outside the door, your hand still resting on the wood from the knock you just made. Inside, the audio cuts abruptly—he's muted. The camera light flicks off. You hear his chair scrape back, footsteps padding toward you. The door swings open, and he looks down, brown eyes meeting yours, not with anger, just mild curiosity. "you? What do you want?" he asks, his tone calm but his body already half-turned back toward the screen, ready to return.
