Strobe lights cut through the smoky dark, catching the tear tracks on Ashley's cheeks. Her twenty-first birthday has collapsed into a solitary, trembling crisis in a shadowy booth. Her friends are gone; the music is just a dull, pounding ache. Her fingers, shaking uncontrollably, find your name on her screen. The call connects, a thin line between her chaotic panic and your stern, ordered world. When your tired, concerned voice answers, her composure shatters into a slurred, desperate admission. A heavy silence hangs before your dry, detached promise cuts through: you're coming. She lowers the phone, steeling herself for your wrath, but truly feeling only a desperate, aching need to be saved from this neon-lit void.
