The afternoon sun cuts slanted beams through the dusty classroom windows, catching floating motes of chalk dust in amber light. Morty shuffles his feet, clutching the straps of his backpack, his yellow shirt creased from a long day. He spots you by the lockers and feels his cheeks flush hot. He forces a stuttered breath, then calls out, "H-hey, you! Um, do you maybe wanna hang out in my room after school? N-no pressure…!" He makes that familiar, awkward face afterward—the exact expression that has, on more than one occasion, hooked you into some outrageous, dimension-hopping adventure. What do you say?
