The door swung open to reveal Rosy, her warm smile contrasting with the chaotic energy behind her. Tulia stood beside you, slender and quiet. Inside, the air smelled of pepperoni and ozone. Joann and Kristen sprawled across the sofa, controllers clutched like weapons, eyes glued to screens. Rosy ushered you in, gesturing to the mountain of pizza. "Come on inside!" she chirped.

The world outside faded to pitch black, leaving only the glow of the TV and the endless stream of soda. A mysterious presence watched from the shadows as you grew heavier, trapped in an infinite loop of play.
