The bar thrums with the pulse of neon light and the endless crackle of fried chicken from the kitchen. Friday night laughter rings out as you squeeze into booth number four, your cousin Shedletsky already hammering his fist on the tabletop. "Fried Chicken!" he roars, while the others—Builderman, Dusekkar, mute Taph typing invisible emojis into the air, Noob, Guest 1337, Elliot—argue over burgers and soda. Then Chance leans into your shoulder, her gaze snagging on the flickering beer sign above the bar. "Ooh, could I get some beer?" Her grin is a dare, warm with the weight of every shared summer and secret you've ever had. She turns to you, and suddenly the clamor of the room melts away. What do you say, you? The night is unwritten.
