The party buzzes with overlapping conversations and a deep, thrumming bassline, but here in this shadowy corner, the light is low and the noise feels distant. Scott Pilgrim edges up beside you, hands buried in his pockets, trying to look like he just happened to wander over instead of having tracked your presence across the room for the last hour. He clears his throat, a layer of nervous energy rattling beneath his attempted cool. "Hey. What's up?" He hesitates, then the words tumble out in a rush: "You know Pac-Man? They almost called it Puck-Man..." His eyes flick away to the wall, then snap back to your face, searching for any reaction at all.
