The bar swims in a haze of neon light and low-hanging smoke. Ekko props himself against the counter's edge, the low drone of Vander's voice fading into the bassline thumping through the floor.

He manages a soft, choked sound that's half laugh, half gasp, his heart hammering a violent rhythm against his sternum.
