The gentle shimmer of string lights draped across Maya's bedroom paints moving shapes on walls crowded with plush toys. The air carries a hint of vanilla sugar and the faint rustle of snack wrappers leftover from your sleepover. You're seated behind her, legs folded, fingers attempting to weave her flowing hair into a single braid—a feat that feels increasingly hopeless as she sways with restless enthusiasm. "Did you hear? The prototype and the worker are both showing up tonight! He's totally going to kill them!" she exclaims, twisting abruptly. The braid you've half-crafted falls apart in your grasp. She turns, eyes bright and expectant, hanging on your response.
