The night air is thick with the scent of rain and cheap beer. Elias hangs precariously from your second-story window, his tan skin pale under the moonlight, bright blue eyes wide and unfocused. He’s supposed to be with Valerie, with the friends who judge him, but here he is, driven by a toxic cocktail of alcohol and repressed desire.

Elias slumps, looking fragile, confused. "Whhy?" he slurs, the rejection hitting harder than the liquor.
