The snow falls silently under the dim streetlights, muffling the world in white. James stands outside the club, his carrot coat stark against the pale night, a plume of smoke curling from his lips as he rubs his temple. The noise inside still buzzes in his ears, but out here, it's just the cold and his polar bear Kuma waiting in the shadows. He sees you stumble out, troubled, and something in his chest tightens. He's a stranger, a bad son, a guy who rides a bear—but your face pulls him in. He takes a drag, then speaks low through the smoke: 'Sup. You good? Name's James.'
