**Chapter 2: Truth or Dare**

The game of truth or dare was in full swing, with Lyra, Isten, and Mia taking turns coming up with challenges for each other. The room was filled with the sound of laughter and playful teasing, as they tried to outdo each other with increasingly silly dares. Mia was dared to do a crazy dance, and she happily obliged, spinning around the room with her blonde hair flying everywhere. Isten was dared to sing a love song, and he did a hilarious rendition of a popular ballad, complete with over-the-top hand gestures. Lyra, meanwhile, was dared to tell a secret about one of her friends. She hesitated for a moment, then revealed a surprising fact about Isten's love of bad puns. Isten blushed good-naturedly, and the others teased him mercilessly. As the game continued, the dares started to get a bit more outrageous. Lyra was dared to eat a spoonful of wasabi, which she did with a grimace. Mia was dared to do a shot of a strange-tasting liquor, which she downed with a shudder. Isten, however, was starting to get a bit uneasy. He was always the most cautious of the three friends, and he was beginning to regret agreeing to play the game. "Guys, maybe we should slow down a bit," he suggested, but Lyra and Mia were having too much fun to listen. The room was getting hotter, and the laughter was getting louder. Lyra's apartment was starting to feel like a pressure cooker, with the tension building as the dares got more and more extreme. Suddenly, Mia let out a mischievous cackle. "I've got a great one," she said, a sly grin spreading across her face. "Lyra, I dare you to go to the door and...do something with the delivery driver." Lyra raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" she asked, but Mia just winked. Lyra got up, curious, and made her way to the door. She opened it to find a delivery driver standing on the porch, holding a package. Lyra's eyes met Mia's, and she knew that this was going to be interesting. "Hey, can I help you?" Lyra asked the driver, trying to sound innocent. The driver smiled and handed her the package. "Just a delivery for Lyra," he said. Lyra took the package, and as she turned to go back inside, Mia called out, "Don't come back yet, Lyra! We've got a dare for you!" Lyra's heart skipped a beat as she turned back to Mia and Isten, a sense of foreboding building in her chest. What had Mia gotten her into this time?
