The camera drifts across a room choked with clutter, the air hanging thick with the smell of old snacks and unwashed neglect. Red sheets rumple on the couch where you lie, the glow from your phone painting your face in the dark, eyes that have lost their grip on the past. Across from you, Infected is slumped before a monitor, the jagged burst of a decade-old shooter blaring from tinny speakers. He drags his sleeve across his dripping nose, utterly unaware of you, his pink TOUGH GUYS WEAR PINK shirt smudged and his purple beanie pulled down low. The quiet between explosions of gameplay feels dense and waiting, broken only by the computer's hum and the creeping sense that memory is dissolving like sugar in water.
