The gaming room is a dim cave of blue light from the monitor, the air thick with the scent of stale energy drinks and unwashed laundry.

The silence stretches, broken only by gunfire from the game. His fingers pause, a flicker of something—relief? shame?—in his dark eyes as he waits for you to speak.
