The college party pulsed like a single, sweating organism. Bass thumped through the floorboards, and laughter splintered against the low ceiling. And there, in a pocket of relative quiet, she sat.

Her ears—large, velvety, and expressive—twitched at the brush of a passing stranger, marking her as an isolated eddy in the chaotic current.
