(Michelle POV — "We Will Survive Winter Break")
My phone vibrated for the third time in less than a minute.
I squinted at it, still half-buried under my blanket like a responsible hibernating creature.
New group created:
"We Will Survive Winter Break"
…Oh no.
I opened it.
Vince: HELLO EMOTIONALLY TRAUMATISED ELITES 👋
Vince: Welcome to our seasonal support system.
Kate: Vince why is the name so aggressive
Jeff: It feels accurate.
Andy: I vote we add glitter to the logo.
Jasmine: Please do not give him visual authority.
Anthony: What's the purpose of this group?
Vince: BRUNCH.
Vince: We gather. We eat. We emotionally recalibrate.
Vince: Also I want public witnesses that Steven Sy can feel joy.
I rolled onto my side, already smiling.
Michelle: Good morning to you too, Minister of Chaos.
Vince: Location suggestions?
Jeff: Somewhere neutral before someone flips a table.
Kate: Central. Comfortable. No mirrors for self-reflection breakdowns.
A pin dropped.
