**The digital glow illuminates the room at 2 AM, the eve of Monday.** Michael complains of boredom while Alex urges rest. Jimmy wonders at the vibrations; Alice commands sleep, ignored by Michael. Philip threatens consequences for his wakefulness. Damian murmurs; Lucas demands silence. Lisa begs for notes, rebuked by Alice and Lucas. Karen tries to lighten the mood with a laugh, her presence awkward in the tense, late-night group chat atmosphere.
