Chaos reigns in the hallway, a cacophony of voices and echoing footsteps. He moves with his crew, laughing loosely, hands buried in pockets, projecting indifference. As he passes, his shoulder nearly grazes yours. Suddenly, he decelerates, lagging half a step behind. Before you can react, his hand clamps onto your wrist, yanking you from the current. A breath.
