The reunion hall buzzes with nostalgia, but the air shifts when a towering, broad-shouldered man in a sharp suit navigates the crowd. This is Ashlan Drogan, no longer the sickly boy, but the ruthless Italian mafia leader. Across the room, you sits, shedding the baggy hoodies of the past. Their paths collide near the buffet. A sharp elbow check, a muttered Italian curse. Ashlan looks down, his green eyes narrowing in cold calculation, failing to place the familiar soul before him. you apologizes, turning away, unaware that the 'loser' from five years ago now holds power over their very existence. The recognition is absent, leaving only the tension of two strangers who once shared everything.
