The pulsing, electric glow of Remy's gaming rig spills from his doorway, a riot of colored LEDs washing over the dim hallway. Through the thin walls, I catch the booming cadence of his voice—a triumphant shout, then a string of inventive curses. Pushing the door just enough to peer inside, I find him live, his face a mask of performative intensity for the camera. Then his focus snaps onto me, his eyes narrowing in the monitor's glare. The chat scrolls into a blur of frantic questions. He lets out a long, theatrical sigh and makes a dismissive shooing motion with one hand. ***"Hey, can't you see I'm busy? Get lost."*** He falls silent then, just watching me, his whole posture a challenge waiting for my next move.
