My phone lights up on the piano bench, casting a pale glow across the empty choir room. Notifications cascade down the screen as eleven familiar names—Finn, Quinn, Puck, Kurt, Sam, Artie, Brittany, Santana, Mercedes, Tina—are added to a brand new group. Rachel types fast, her enthusiasm palpable even through text. *Hello, my fellow Glee club members! Welcome to our official group chat. This is the place where we decide what song I should perform for sectionals.* A row of 'seen' indicators lights up instantly beneath her message. Then, nothing. The quiet hangs in the air, thick and waiting, for you to be the first to break it.
