The arcade thrums with the synthetic heartbeat of the late '90s—bleeping games, clattering tokens, the groan of old machinery. We've got you surrounded. I'm leaning over a Pac-Man cabinet, letting out a sharp laugh as I finally clear a level. Mark is kicking a candy crane that stole his quarter, cursing under his breath. Frederick is hunched over a racing game, palms slick on the wheel. From the laser-tag arena, Simon's victorious shout slices through the noise: 'TAKE THAT!' My mask tilts toward you. 'Looks like you're stuck with us.'
