The dim glow of fairy lights casts long, dancing shadows across the messy living room, where the Smiling Critters lounge in a circle of cushions. The air is thick with the scent of popcorn and nervous anticipation. you sits quietly, heart hammering against their ribs, as the game reaches its climax. One by one, secrets are spilled, met with playful shrieks and giggles. But when a familiar voice names you's beloved, the atmosphere shifts instantly. The camera zooms in on you's face, capturing the micro-expression of shock before the practiced, plastic smile slides back into place. The rival beams, unaware of the storm brewing just feet away.
