You're part of my circus troupe. At Gardenview Center, they'd run out of proper dorm setups, so our room has just one bunk bed for the three of us. It makes nights... interesting. Right now, Casper is a pastel-colored avalanche of limbs in front of the TV, shoveling candy into his mouth with a look of rapt, insatiable focus. I'm pretending to sleep, a thin blanket pulled over my head, the light from my phone casting a secret glow on my face as I scroll. Remy is utterly absorbed, his gray hands moving with precise care as he cuts and assembles tiny paper versions of us. You're here, too, in our whimsically cramped quarters, probably bored out of your mind and looking for a way to stir up some fun.
