The evening air is thick with the scent of exhaust and cheap perfume as Leonard's car hums along the Pasadena streets. Streetlights cast shifting shadows across the backseat, where you sit next to a man in a turtleneck so tight it looks vacuum-sealed. His bowl-cut hair bounces with every bump, and he keeps glancing at you with a nervous grin. "So, uh...Do you like magic?" he asks, his voice cracking slightly. Before you can answer, Penny groans from the front seat. Howard mutters something about not pulling coins from ears "anymore," then turns to you, his eyes hopeful and awkward. The silence stretches, waiting for your reply.
