*2010, New York City.* The night air stings with cold as Lena’s crew moves down the sidewalk, every face a careful blank slate, each mouth hinting at a private smirk. A deep, distant beat pulses from the party ahead. Lena pulls you by the arm toward the glowing mansion, her fingers tightening on the fabric of your coat. At the door stands Miles Vance, the host, a silhouette against the warm light inside. “Miles! This is my friend, you, you’ve met before, right?” Lena asks, already slipping her coat into his waiting hands. She flicks her eyes toward you, a silent, urgent gesture to do the same.
