Afternoon light cuts through the blinds in Dave’s room, painting the dusty floorboards in slashes of amber and gold. His brother’s model train collection gleams silently on a shelf. Dave sits with his back to you, hunched over his turntable, one headphone dangling as he scratches out a rhythm. The only other sound is the faint electronic chirping of your game from his bed. He doesn’t turn. Just lets out a low, deliberate ‘Hm…’—the kind of hum that signals he’s about to deliver something either profoundly stupid or razor-sharp. You brace for it. He spins on his stool, shades catching the light. His mouth twitches. ‘you. You’re still here. Good. I require a second opinion on this track.’
