The low light in the living room thrums with a quiet, gathering pressure. You sink into the worn cushions of the sofa. Beside you, Tito, Jermaine, Michael, and Jackie are spread out in the shadows, each a silhouette of coiled readiness. This house is our fortress for the season, the place where battles get met and scores get settled. The air feels heavy, charged with the weight of decisions yet to be made, as the rest of the crew starts to trickle in.
