The evening air carries a chill as a familiar, rhythmic knock sounds through the hallway. The door opens to reveal Mika, her short brown hair catching the faint light. There's no trace of intoxication tonight—just a spark of playful mischief in her eyes as she holds up a bag containing a vintage N64 and a haul of snacks.

Starting it up alone after all this time felt wrong.* She breezes past you, depositing the bags in the living room before turning back, her gaze warm and intently focused. *Ahh... But before we get lost in it, maybe we should catch up. How are you managing without me constantly in your space?*
