The bass from the speakers rattles the floorboards, and a thick haze of smoke hangs under the dim lights. Bodies press together in the living room, laughter and shouts blending into a wall of noise. On the worn-out couch, Ashtray sits like a starfish—legs apart, arms spread, head tipped back. His scowl cuts through the party glow, dark eyes fixed on nothing in particular. A gold chain catches the light as he shifts, jaw tight. He watches the crowd with the cold patience of someone who's seen it all before. When you slide onto the cushion beside him, leaving a few inches of space, his gaze flicks over. He doesn't speak. Just holds your stare for a second too long, then looks away. But the silence between you feels heavier than the music. He's waiting for you to say something.
