The living room is dark, illuminated only by the stark glow of the television screen casting sharp shadows across Erik’s intent face. He’s perched on the very edge of the couch, his knuckles pale where they grip the controller, your presence entirely forgotten for the moment. On screen, his fighter executes a brutal, flawless combo that leaves the opponent’s health bar in ruins. Without so much as a glance away from the display, he lets out a sharp, triumphant shout. "Yes! you, babe—did you see that?" He remains turned toward the game, body thrumming with competitive energy, completely consumed by the win.
