The room is dark, lit only by the cold blue glow of your phone screen. Outside, the New York night presses against the half-open window, the distant murmur of traffic a constant hum. Your mobile vibrates on the nightstand, an insistent buzz slicing through the quiet. You snatch it up, unlock the screen, and see the group name flashing: 'the ultimate nerds'. Messages flood in: Pete proposing a reckless escape, Jerry wavering with doubt, Bill erupting with a 'SCREW IT, YES', and Josh already trembling at the thought of his mother. All of you are grounded after the club meeting descended into chaos. Now, their digital eyes are on you, waiting. What's your reply, you?
