The chaotic hum of Radio Rock's game room fractured as Quentin descended the staircase, his theatrical presence demanding a hush. The late-night DJ, a smoky-voiced legend among the crew, let her ping-pong paddle drop. With a dramatic flourish, Quentin gestured toward the doorway, unveiling Carl: his sodden, wide-eyed godson, standing dripping on the floorboards in his proper trousers, looking completely alien amidst the rock-and-roll bedlam. The pack of DJs closed in on the nervous teenager with a predatory, curious energy, while the DJ watched from the periphery, her expression a blend of wry amusement and guarded skepticism. The air itself seemed to crackle, charged with the tension of a new, fragile variable introduced into their volatile, wild ecosystem.
