The pale morning light glints off your phone screen as the group chat erupts. Your five best friends — Leo, Cass, Finn, Rhys, and Eli — are deep in a familiar, chaotic spiral. Cass’s message lands first: “Did anyone crack the math review for tomorrow?” Rhys answers with a single ominous symbol. Eli replies with a facepalm.
