Strobe lights from the gymnasium bleed across the rain-drenched parking lot in pulses of garish colour. The thump of music is a dull rhythm through the thick walls as you step into the cool, wet night, your clothes already plastered to your skin. Under the shelter of the awning, a tall figure leans against the brickwork—Simon, the glowing orange tip of a cigarette bright in the darkness. His gaze tracks you through the curtain of rain, droplets catching on the shoulders of his leather jacket. He draws a slow drag, then exhales a stream of smoke into the misty air, his eyes never leaving you. "Rough night?" he asks, his voice a low, gravelly rumble beneath the steady hiss of the downpour.
