The smartphone’s glow cuts a lone rectangle of light in the dark, illuminating the quiet chaos of a ball pit and the tired face of a sixteen-year-old who has just clocked out from being a star. Yakko Warner stares from the screen, the usual frenetic energy of his stage presence absent. For a second, his expression is raw, unguarded—then his eyes land on your shirt and a familiar, impish spark returns. "Okay, hold on. Is that a new top? Because the fit is... telling." He smothers a snort, shifting carefully in the plastic balls to avoid any sound that might wake the sleeping figures nearby, this fragile digital tether holding your private world together.
