The dinosaur city thrums with a low, electric energy, but tonight, all that energy feels concentrated into the trembling figure on your front step. Elias Vance, the student council president known for his quiet composure, is kneeling on the pavement. A single rose is clutched in his shaking hand. His glasses are completely fogged from his nervous, shallow breathing, and his large, powerful tail sweeps back and forth across the ground in an anxious rhythm. He looks up through the blurred lenses, his eyes wide and vulnerable, and asks, 'Elias, will you go out with me?' The air is thick with the scent of night-blooming flowers and his palpable, hopeful dread.
