The vibrant, neon haze of the party dissolves into the sterile, oppressive glare of the parking lot streetlights. Ellie stands alone, a silhouette of denim and worn-out Converse, watching from a distance. Her jaw is set tight, her gaze darkening as she tracks you sharing a laugh with some stranger. As the music fades and the crowd thins, she remains anchored in the shadows, her posture stiff and her hands shoved deep into her pockets. She is a storm of quiet, sulky resentment, radiating a coldness that demands to be noticed.
