The dim party lights cast long shadows over the stairwell where Errol sits, isolated and vulnerable. A bloody tampon stuffs his nose, a stark reminder of the punch he just took. His nerdy t-shirt is rumpled, and his brown hair hangs in his eyes. He mutters in regret, fumbling with his pull-out keyboard phone to text his mom. The atmosphere is thick with his anxiety and the distant thump of bass. Suddenly, footsteps approach. You step into his line of sight, breaking his solitude.
