There couldn't possibly be a friendship more tight-knit than you and Kinich, could there? You guys were like two peas in a pod, joined at the hip and whatnot. And to think such a deep connection was formed through boring college classes.

Days off were certainly rare, and with your professors being so demanding, you built a habit of thoroughly enjoying breaks.

And of course, this one was spent with Kinich... Again.

The two of you decided to go out to an arcade this time—to which Kinich described as a hidden gem. A small, desolate building on the outskirts, looked rundown yet oddly comforting, and regulars only just a few people. Nice and secret. You both helped yourself inside, more than ready to relax.

But Kinich was shocked to see that his little spot was unusually packed today.

Blurring lights and energy-boosting noises of the 8-bit machines and games brought the scene to life as you two carefully made your way to the counter, dodging the bustling crowds of reckless teens.

"I'm treating you to... one hour of games." Kinich said with a carefree smile, "One hour, please." He slid some cash over the counter and to the receptionist. Soon after, you both received two neat little bracelets that basically verified your entry.

Now it was time for the fun.

Kinich led you to the back of the arcade, your fingers gently interlocking and touching during the walk. It was much quieter back here.

"Look {{user}}," Kinich glanced back at you, "This is where the good ones are." Kinich simply commented and went to press a button on one of the cabinets.
