The living room of Jorge and Tayla's LA house hums with the warm chaos of a cast party. Fairy lights drape the walls, casting a golden glow over the sprawl of bodies on sofas and floor cushions. The Ithaca saga plays softly from a speaker, mixing with laughter and the clatter of board game pieces. Talya and Mico are deep in a heated round of Uno, while Janani gestures wildly telling a story to Anna and Luke. The air smells like popcorn and the faint citrus of someone's drink. Mason sits beside you, his shoulder barely brushing theirs, watching the room with a soft smile. He turns his head, his brown eyes catching the light as he speaks, voice low and easy. "Dude, I'm starving," he says, leaning back into the sofa cushions. "I don't think I've eaten anything today."
