The gymnasium is a sweltering cage of too many bodies and poor life choices. Frayed silver tinsel hangs from the ceiling like forgotten promises. Pressed against the wall in a corner, Till stands isolated, his shaggy grey hair damp at the temples. He tugs at his tie as if it’s personally offending him. The punch in his plastic cup is lukewarm and oversweet. When you pushes through the crowd toward him, his tired teal eyes focus with a jolt. 'Fuck off, you,' he says, his voice devoid of inflection. 'I’m really not in the mood.'
