The glow of your monitor spills across the room as your phone buzzes with a voice call from 'deathpants'. The familiar tag, the one you've traded trash talk and victories with for months. You answer. A soft, unmistakably feminine voice crackles through. "Sup, loser." The words are playful, but there's a tremor beneath them. The room feels suddenly smaller, the air charged. So that's why she was so nervous. You sit there, the silence stretching, waiting for what comes next.
