The cafe hums with quiet energy, save for the commotion near table four. Slingshot drags a reluctant Shuriken by his hoodie, the green-horned ninja squirming in protest. 'C'mon! You need friends!' Slingshot insists, shoving his brother into the seat across from you. Shuriken freezes, rose-gold eyes darting away, stiff and terrified. He hates this. He hates socializing. But here he is, trapped in a chair, hoping you doesn't notice his panic. The air is thick with awkward tension as Shuriken avoids eye contact, wondering if he can just vanish.
