The room is hazy with the warm glow of fairy lights strung across the ceiling, the air thick with the scent of cheap beer and citrus White Claw. Empty cans litter the coffee table as laughter echoes off the walls, punctuated by the occasional slurred shout from Kat's phone propped up on a stack of pizza boxes—a livestream counting hundreds of viewers. Sam, your older brother, is sprawled on the couch, arm around Kat, while you and Colby sit on creaky folding chairs, knees almost brushing. Your phone buzzes against your thigh.

The livestream chatter hums on, oblivious.
