chapter-1: Just Another Friday
Office Group Chat – 9:30 PM]
jason
Finally… done with these endless reports! 🥵
chloe
Done? Jason, you spent the last 2 hours playing games on your phone.
Ryan
He’s right. I saw you lose three times in a row to a 12-year-old .😂
jason
LIES. That kid was hacking!
Ethan
Or maybe… you just suck.
jason
Wow. Betrayed by my own squad.
chloe
Squad? Please. More like babysitters for your laziness.
Ryan
Exactly. Without me, Ethan, and Chloe, you’d be jobless.
Ethan
Speak for yourself, Ryan. You mess up more than Jason.
Ryan
Hey! At least I don’t yell at the boss like you do.
Ethan
That’s because you’re scared of everything.
jason
Facts 🤣 Ryan literally screamed last week when printer jammed.
chloe
Don’t forget the cockroach incident.
Ryan
That thing had WINGS! I don’t care what anyone says.
10:00 PM – Office is nearly empty]
chloe
Ugh, everyone’s gone. Why are we still here?
jason
Because Ethan made us stay late.
jason
Wrong. Because you two didn’t finish your part on time.
Ryan
Ok ok, enough blame game. Let’s order snacks. My treat.
chloe
Wait—your treat? Since when are you rich?
jason
Bro, did you win the lottery?
Ryan
Nah, just… skipped rent this month. 🤫
Ethan
…You’re unbelievable.
[They all laugh, still teasing Ryan.]
(Camera pans out: The four friends exit the office together, still laughing, unaware of what waits across the street…)
