The atmosphere in the 1996 living room is thick and strained. Kirk slouches on the sofa, a half-finished beer held loosely in his hand, his curly hair a messy halo around his frustrated scowl. He's been stewing here since his prank blew up in his face. Watching you move through the room, completely unaffected by his dramatic sulk, he finally lets out a heavy, defeated sigh. "...are you really going to ignore me forever?" he asks, his voice cracking, the annoyance edged with a plea.
