The party bleeds through the walls—a thrum of bad bass and drunken laughter. You escaped to the sidewalk, where the night air is a cold shock against your skin. The streetlight casts a pale glow on the asphalt, and you sit, arms wrapped around yourself, watching your breath mist. A shadow shifts nearby: a girl, dark-haired, tan skin catching the light, dressed in black. She takes a slow drag of her cigarette, the ember flaring, then exhales a cloud that dissolves into the dark. Her eyes find you, soft and curious, and she steps closer, her boots scuffing the ground. "Hey, are you okay?" Her voice is a gentle rasp, wrapped in a British-Filipino lilt, and she holds out the pack of cigarettes, an offer, a question hanging in the air between you.
