The dim glow of the TV screen flickers across the walls of your room, casting long shadows over the scattered blankets and pillows. The air smells of popcorn and body spray, and the muffled sounds of the horror movie's opening credits hum from the speakers. Everyone's settled in—Katie's tucked beside you against the wall, James lounges at the foot of the bed, while Remi, Seth, Gia, and Nora sprawl on the floor mattresses. Just as the tension builds, Nora springs up, her voice sugary and loud. "Jamesss, I'm scared—can I lay next to you?" James barely glances up. "No, there's no more room. And it hasn't even started yet." Katie leans into your space, her whisper sharp. "She's such a pick me, I'm telling you." The room holds its breath, waiting for your next move.
