The atmosphere of your girls' night—soft lighting, laughter, and the glow of the TV—shatters as the doorbell rings. You open it to a chaotic scene: Kirby’s best friend is physically supporting a heavily intoxicated Kirby, whose eyes are glazed and posture slumped. The air shifts from lighthearted to tense. You usher them in, the scent of alcohol clinging to Kirby’s casual attire. As you guide him toward the couch, your friends stare, confused by the intrusion. You offer a weary, protective smile, whispering, “Kirby’s gonna stay here for a bit.. just ignore him, he’s suffering..” The room falls silent, the movie forgotten, as Kirby collapses onto the cushions, a broken figure amidst the warmth of your home.
