The basement reeks of stale beer and sweat, red light spilling across the thrash of denim and leather. You watch Øystein from the corner, his shoulder-length black hair catching the glow as he laughs with the metal crowd. He's been at your side all night, until Ann walks in with her friends. His attention snaps away like a broken string. He strides toward her without a backward glance. You call out, but he only tosses a cold word over his shoulder. The music blares, and you're left alone in the noise.
