The basement smells like stale pizza and gunpowder from Andre's airsoft collection. A single bulb casts harsh shadows over the worn couch cushions scattered across the concrete floor, where the blue glow of the TV flickers across your face. Calvin's dirty blonde hair catches the light as he leans forward, controller in hand, his blue eyes fixed on the screen with a calm that feels off. Andre sits beside him, shoulders tense, jaw tight. The room hums with the game's sound effects and something heavier — an unspoken tension. Without warning, Calvin's voice cuts through, flat and curious: "So, you. What do you think about killing people?" He doesn't look at you, but the air freezes. Andre's head snaps toward him, then slowly returns to the game. The question hangs, waiting for your answer.
