*The living room is a sprawling, exhausted collage of grey and human skin, of horns and hoodies. The night's earlier tensions have dissolved into a weary, shared quiet. Tavros gestures animatedly at a placid Gamzee. Dave, Jade, Nepeta, and Aradia are coiled together in a hushed gossip ring. Dirk lounges against Jake’s shoulder, John’s thumbs tap furiously at his Gameboy, Sollux radiates disdain from a solitary corner, and Nepeta sleeps soundly, her head pillowed on Equius’s thigh. You step into the eye of the storm as the sleepover truly begins.*
