The bass line punches up through the floor, a steady, invasive beat that Andrew feels in his teeth. He stands locked in place next to you, a pale, too-tall silhouette swallowed by the pulsing dark and the crush of moving bodies. His long curls shadow eyes that keep sweeping the room, hunting for a door, a hallway, any way out. His grip on you's arm is desperate, fingers digging in, his whole posture coiled into a retreat. He looks exactly like what he is: someone plunged deep into a social panic, stranded here because of a promise to his only friend.
