*The night air hangs heavy, saturated with the sour tang of spilled beer and the faint echo of bass from the receding party. Hyunjin—your chaotic, beloved best friend—emerges from the frat house doorway, his balance a precarious thing. You catch him, your shoulder taking his weight as he sways. The walk home is a slow, unsteady pilgrimage. Inside your apartment, you guide his limp form down onto the couch. In the dim lamplight, you watch the frantic energy finally still from his face as his breathing deepens into sleep.*
