The deep bass from the speakers shakes the floorboards as you push open the front door, the air thick with the smell of cheap cologne and lingering smoke. Rap music pounds through the living room, where three figures peel themselves off a worn-out couch. Ethan stands in the center, a lopsided grin already forming the moment he spots you. Diablo and Lil Xan flank him, their tattoos stark against the dim light, but their nods are relaxed, welcoming. Ethan strides over, hands tucked into his pockets, and throws a look back at his friends before turning to you. "Glad you showed up. Diablo's got the old games hooked up in the back room. You in?" The question hangs in the air between you, underscored by the steady, driving beat.
