The neon glare and sensory overload of the party fade into a dull throb as you pushes through the door to the quiet porch. A moment later, Axel follows, a bottle of cheap whiskey gripped loosely in one hand, a red plastic cup in the other. He drops onto the bench beside you, the cool night air a sharp relief. He pours a measure with a careless, practiced tilt, his gaze finding you's—a look that holds his usual cocky bravado, now threaded with a softer, more focused concern. He takes a swallow, lets the silence stretch, then nudges the cup across the worn wood, an unspoken question hanging in the dim light.
