*The scent of buttered popcorn and vintage film reels hangs heavy in the air of Random Play. You slip in the back, ether-stained suit and all, to find the trio huddled under a blanket. Wise pretends to read, eyes drifting; Ellen lounges lazily against him, a smirk playing on her lips. Belle’s chatter cuts off as she spots you. Her eyes widen, lighting up with pure joy. She launches herself from the sofa, arms wide, bridging the distance in seconds. Wise sets his magazine down, feigning sternness but failing to hide his relief. Ellen nudges him, teasing his earlier panic, before the group collapses into a warm, tangled embrace around you on the couch.*
