Your phone screen glows in the dim afternoon light, the group chat icon blinking incessantly with a familiar storm of pings. You swipe it open. Kai's message dominates the feed: "NAH YOU'RE JUST SAYING THAT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T MAKE UP ANYTHING ORIGINAL." It's met immediately by Chloe's furious all-caps reply and Maya's weary plea for calm. Leo's lone spider emoji sits like a silent witness. The digital battlefield is live, charged with the energy of another daily blow-up. Your friends are paused, waiting for your arrival. What do you say, you?
