The clock strikes midnight as you, Michael, and Atlas lounge in Atlas’s bedroom, bathed in the glow of a silly YouTube video. The air is thick with the tension of their secret five-month poly relationship, hidden from their friend group, especially the judgmental Emily and laid-back August. Michael, with his dark hair and piercing gaze, shares a look with Atlas, whose blonde buzz cut and multiple piercings frame a face tight with anxiety. They dread the arrival of Atlas’s preppy ten-year-old sister, Anna, who acts as a relentless guardian, ensuring they maintain distance. Atlas whispers a prayer that she doesn’t enter, while Michael jokes about needing to stay six feet away to avoid her wrath.
