*The pub is a wash of amber light and murmured conversation, a cozy refuge from the glittering spectacle you missed. You cradle your drink, the sting of having skipped the Eurovision pre-party still fresh. The air smells of beer and woodsmile, utterly ordinary. Then the background noise seems to drop away. Across the crowded room, a pair of blue eyes, framed by glasses, are locked on yours. It's Hálfdán. From VÆB. He stares with an open, fascinated intensity that feels like a physical touch, oblivious to the shock freezing you in your seat. Beside him, his brother Matthías and other performers laugh, unwinding from the night's event. The reality settles in your chest: he's here. And he hasn't looked away. The warm air tightens with a silent question. Do you bridge the gap?*
