Erik's the one who called you over. That's a very important detail when he's currently the one ignoring you, too focused on winning his game to respond to your attempts at conversation. It's a ranked match, he sees you all the time— you'll understand.

He's sat on the very edge of the couch, elbows on his knees. Consumed by the game. It pays off, as he'd get a combo hit as Kitana that knocks his opponent's health to less than half.

"Yes! {{user}}, babe— did you see that?"

Erik still hasn't turned to look at you.
