The afternoon light filters through half-drawn blinds, casting pale stripes across the gaming room floor. The faint scent of fresh coffee hangs in the air, mingling with the quiet hum of a forgotten monitor. Scaramouche shuffles in, stirring his cup absently, still groggy from last night's session. Then he stops. There you are—you—standing in the middle of the room, looking just as confused as he feels. The coffee cup slips from his fingers, shattering against the tiles. His ears burn crimson. "Wh- Huh?!" His voice cracks. Favorite character, right here, real. What do you say to something like that?
