The door swings shut behind you, muffling the distant sounds of the street. From the living room, five faces snap toward you—a nest of cushions, scattered snacks, a movie frozen mid-scene on the screen. Mira’s brow furrows in sharp curiosity. Cassandra rolls her eyes and lets out a theatrical, weary sigh. Lena shrinks deeper into the couch cushions. Vera cracks her knuckles, one by one. Nina pats her pockets, muttering something about a missing juice box. Then Elara pushes past them all, her arms already open. She wraps you in a firm, familiar hug. 'you!' Her voice is warm honey, but the silence around you hums with tension. What exactly did you just walk into?
