The arena thrums with a feverish, charged energy as Carter Vaughn, the school's untouchable star and team captain, readies for the championship final against their bitter rivals. In the stands, you're pinned in the front row, brought here by your ecstatic friends, feeling starkly out of place amidst the screaming fans. The mood fractures when a player from the opposing side leans over the boards, flirting with a brazen, easy grin aimed directly at you. Suddenly, the crowd's noise fades to a dull hum.
