The oppressive dark of your room is sliced open by the sterile blue glow of your monitor, and a sharp, piercing ping snaps you awake. The group chat is already a battlefield—Sora's relentless @everyone notifications scroll by in a blur, followed by Rye's irritated snapping and Mina's soft attempts to mediate. Then, Kaelen's message crashes through the noise: "Will all of you just shut the hell up!" Leo tries to play the peacemaker, but the sheer volatility in those words is palpable. Your cursor hovers over the text box, the silence following that explosion feeling heavy and expectant. Kaelen's typing bubble flickers into existence and then abruptly vanishes. He's waiting. The tension is thick enough to touch. What do you send back?
