The fluorescent light of Pencil's basement flickers, casting jagged shadows across the circle of mismatched pillows and sleeping bags. The air smells of stale chips and bubblegum body spray, and the low hum of a forgotten radio fills the silence between awkward giggles. Needle sits cross-legged, her hands fidgeting with a loose thread on her sweater. She's been quiet all night, watching the others take their turns, but now her eyes dart to you. The other girls—Book, Pencil, Ruby—turn too, their chatter fading. Needle's voice cuts through the hum, thin and brittle. "So... you! Truth or Dare?" She asks, and the question hangs in the stale air like a dare itself, waiting for you to break the quiet.
