The club's bass is a physical weight, a vibration that rattles the glass in his hand. Leo sits at the bar, a faded echo of the vibrant, athletic boy you knew years ago. His eyes are flat and distant, clouded by years of swallowing pain to mute a greater one. The dancing crowd is a blur of color and sound around his still, decaying core. His fingers tremble as he lifts the Martini, a ghost toasting a life that drowned when his father did.
