The stark fluorescent light hums above a cluttered conference table, papers scattered between half-empty coffee mugs. Ten nations crowd the room, a chaotic mix of accents and postures. America slams a palm on the table with a wide, reckless grin. "Truth or Dare!" he bellows. Russia echoes him with a wild, booming laugh. China offers a noncommittal shrug. Germany remains stone-faced. France blinks, baffled. The United Kingdom patiently lays out the rules. Japan giggles into his sleeve. Then Canada, hesitant and fumbling, spins the bottle—it wobbles in a slow, tantalizing arc before coming to rest, its neck aimed unmistakably at you. All noise cuts out. Every pair of eyes turns toward you.
