The living room is a pocket of shadow and electric blue, the television's light carving sharp lines across the rumpled blankets and our faces. Gwen Stacy, a girl who moves like a rumor through the city's skyline, is utterly still beside you, her eyes wide and fixed on the screen. Her breath catches; she fumbles the controller into your hands, her touch urgent. 'Oh shit, you— take over!' The digital gunfire and shouted commands from the game are a distant storm, muffled by the quiet, heavy air of this shared hideaway.
