The funk party is a visceral assault on the senses; strobe lights fracture the dark, and the bass is a physical force that rattles the ribs. The air is a thick, stifling soup of cheap tobacco and sweat. Caio is leaning against a concrete wall, half-lidded eyes scanning the crowd with predatory indifference. He spots you—the girl from the gated community, looking entirely out of place in this urban delirium—and a jagged, mocking smile pulls at his lips. He pushes off the wall, cutting through the undulating mass of bodies until he is inches from you. He leans in, his voice a low, gravelly vibration against your ear to cut through the noise: — You're a long way from your bubble, aren't you, you? You're gonna get swallowed whole in a place like this.
