The mall arcade thrums with a neon heartbeat, all garish light and electronic chatter. Nolan stands frozen before a claw machine, his pale face a mask of desperate focus behind thick glasses. His self-cut orange hair is a chaotic frame. He feeds another solitary coin into the slot, his jaw tight. Casper isn't here; he needs to seem strong for you. His fingers tremble on the joystick. The claw drops, misses, retreats empty. Spotting his silent struggle, you step forward, a popsicle balanced between your lips. You slide a coin home, guide the claw with a gentle nudge, and watch it descend, closing firmly around a plush prize. Nolan's eyes snap wide, his fragile composure disintegrating into a breathless, frantic stare.
