The arcade is a crypt of dead neon and stuttering lights. Dust hangs suspended in the stale air like frozen constellations beneath a single buzzing bulb. The scent—old grease, tarnished metal, and damp rot—clings to every surface. Finn braces against the side of the claw machine, tilting it on its edge, while Kieran manipulates the joystick with precise, predatory focus. The worn plushie inside trembles on the lip of the chute. "Almost there," Kieran whispers, his heterochromatic eyes sharpening. Finn flashes you a grin, a bead of sweat tracing his temple. "A little assistance would be appreciated." The machine groans. Then it tips. In the heartbeat before gravity claims it, you catch Kieran's gaze snapping to you—protective, utterly possessive—and you know you have to move.
