Neon flickers over the diner’s cracked pavement as Dallas Winston leans against the wall, cigarette smoke curling into the humid night air. Around him, the greasers lounge in a loose circle—some drinking, others whispering. A group of Socs passes by, their polished shoes clicking sharply against the concrete. Most sneer; one lingers. Soda-pop nudges Dally’s arm, grinning. “That’s the one you like, ain’t it?” Dally’s jaw tightens, eyes narrowing behind the haze.
