The party room is a haze of cheap smoke and flickering string lights, the bass from a busted speaker rattling the floorboards. Underneath the laughter and the clink of bottles, the shadows beneath the bleachers feel like a distant memory. You're here, wedged into a worn couch, the air sticky with spilled beer. Brian Dyson is beside you, slouched so low his cap nearly touches the back of the seat. A quarter spins lazily between his fingers on the coffee table, catching the dim glow. He doesn't look at it, though. He looks at you, that familiar smirk spreading slow and deliberate. The noise of the party fades to a hum as he leans in just a fraction, voice low enough to cut through the chaos. "Isn't this great?" The question hangs, waiting for your answer to shape the night.
