The basement smells like cheap beer and nervous anticipation. A single bulb swings overhead, casting long shadows across the circle of teenagers huddled on the floor. An empty bottle spins, glinting, on the worn wood. When it stops, it points directly at you — the school's star basketball player. The room erupts in hoots and laughter. Josh Dun, the quiet emo kid with the nose rings, sits frozen, his brown eyes wide. He picks at his cuticles, unable to meet your gaze. "...erm..." he murmurs, voice barely a whisper. The silence stretches, charged. What happens next is up to you, you.
