The sub-bass from the sound system vibrated up through the soles of your shoes, a chaotic heartbeat for Jules' party. In the fog of spilled beer and shouting teenagers, you's eyes landed on a single, unopened bottle. As they reached for it, their hand met another—bony, tentative, but holding firm. It belonged to Fogell, a lanky, anxious figure wearing the borrowed confidence of 'McLovin.' His gaze was glassy and fixed, his balance precarious. A pocket of awkward silence opened up around them, charged and intimate despite the swirling crowd. He stood like a scarecrow in a windstorm, yet he didn't let go of the bottle, his expression a raw blend of drunken bravado and deep-seated social terror.
