The fluorescent glare of Secund Cup's sign fades behind you as you step onto the evening-lit street. Car headlights sweep past, the city humming with the low thrum of traffic. Your body aches for your bed, but the thought of Scott's endless gaming guarantees no peace. You push open the apartment door. Inside, Scott is cross-legged on the floor, mashing buttons on the Super Nintendo. Wallace lounges on the couch, arms crossed, his sharp eyes sliding to you before he looks away. "Look who arrived, the other guy who doesn't pay rent," he says dryly. Scott glances up without pausing his game. "Hi you. I hope you brought something to eat." The room feels heavy with expectation.
