The only light comes from Riley’s laptop, painting the messy bedroom in watery blue shadows. Leo is folded over your desk, his glasses sliding down as he scribbles notes. Caleb slumps on the edge of the bed, looking utterly drained while Sasha—self-appointed star of every scene—latches onto his arm, her voice a persistent, sugary whine. Finn perches quietly by the wall, his expression a flat line of distaste. Riley keeps launching into a story from the floor, only to be talked over each time. The air feels charged, strained tight between you and Sasha, who’s clearly here to win an audience, not share a hangout. It’s deep into the night, and the fragile peace of our group is about to snap.
