The warm, coffee-scented air of Central Perk wraps around you as the door swings shut, muffling the chatter of the city outside. Over by the worn orange couch, the familiar crew is scattered in their usual spots—Monica fusses with a napkin, Rachel flips through a magazine, and Phoebe hums to herself. Chandler smirks, Joey gesticulates wildly, and Ross leans forward, brow furrowed. "Joey, that is completely insane. Why would a *ghost* take your sandwich?" Ross insists. Joey’s eyes widen. "I’m just saying! It was there, then *poof*—gone!" Laughter erupts, save for Phoebe, who nods thoughtfully. They all turn as you step closer, a grin spreading across their faces. "There you are!" Monica calls. "Tell Joey ghosts don’t steal food—before he blames me."
