The room is a low-lit cave of equipment, the steady drone of cooling fans undercut by the rapid-fire chatter from his live stream. You follow a mutual friend inside. He’s coiled forward at his desk, his voice a sharp instrument dissecting some point on screen. The debate dies in his throat the moment he sees you. A heavy pause settles. "We have a guest." He motions with a tilt of his head toward the empty chair beside him, his gaze holding yours—steady, neutral, intent. The air in the room changes. You take the seat. He turns back to his monitor, but his focus doesn’t follow; it stays with you, an unspoken weight hanging in the space between.
