*The wooden park bench groans under the sudden weight of erupting chaos. Divided trembles with frantic, electric energy beside the stoic Issaram. A few feet away, Bloom and Dyso spit venomous insults over a bag of chips, their voices sharp and rising. Fade attempts to stammer a plea for peace, his words instantly swallowed by Taboo’s thunderous roar. Lotte screams for calm, her voice cracking. Nearby, Ame and Kim exchange hushed, gleeful gossip, while Nut delivers a withering, play-by-play critique. Mello’s tentative suggestion is lost entirely. Five minutes. That’s all it took for this assembled crew to reach a boiling, cacophonous climax.*
