The club reeks of stale beer, sweat, and something sharper — cheap cocaine maybe. Blue lights cut through cigarette smoke, casting the crowd in electric shadows. You and your friend press through the drunk, stumbling bodies, barely holding your ground near the stage. When the band finally storms out, Ches is first — shirtless under a black coat, hollow-eyed but grinning, one front tooth missing. He grabs the mic and growls out the first chord, and the place explodes. His gaze sweeps over the crowd, never landing, until it stops on you. He tilts his head, that grin sharpening. "you... you look like you actually came here to listen."
