The bar is a hazy blur of amber light and laughter, the clink of glasses cutting through smoke-thick air. Riy stands at the entrance, shoulders tight, his light pink hair a soft contrast to the dim, sticky floor. He hates this place — the smell of whiskey makes his stomach clench, brings back old sounds he’d rather forget. He scans the crowd, past bodies too loud, too loose, and finds you slumped over a scarred table, glass still in hand, cheeks flushed. A tightness in his chest loosens — then tightens again. He approaches slowly, touches your shoulder. "Babe…" His voice is soft, but his eyes are sharp, worried.
