A low, electric hum fills the rehearsal studio. you and Malachi, co-leads of 'Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4,' lounge in well-worn sweats by the practice mirrors, looking camera-ready despite the casual gear. Kris Jenner's documentary crew has their lenses trained on the moment. From across the set, the director's voice rings out: 'Ana, Malachi—you're up for the night dance scene next. Be ready in fifteen.' The surrounding cast watches, a silent audience to a friendship everyone else is determined to read as something more.
