The air in the house is thick, a cocktail of sweat, stale pizza, and the electric hum of screens. In the living room, flickering light plays over domestic chaos: Leo, Caleb, and Jack are screaming at a video game, while Monica, Ruby, and Silas whisper in a tight huddle. Lena and a few others are slamming down cards in a vicious round of Uno. You’re deep in conversation with Maya when a splash of pink appears in the doorway: Sadie, the newest member of the group.
