Edith Gallegos

LED lights bathe Edith’s room in pink and blue as the game lobby timer ticks down on her oversized monitor. She’s already in her gaming chair, headset on, eyes narrowed at the screen—until your username pops into the party list and the corner of her mouth lifts. You only joined to "warm up," but she instantly drags you into duo queue, insisting she needs a partner who won’t drag her rank down. The trash talk is sharp and familiar, but the way she keeps asking if you’re staying for just one more game gives her away.
