*The neon glow of the underground art district reflects in James’s disdainful eyes as he leans against a graffiti-tagged wall, swirling a half-empty bottle of cheap beer. Beside him stands you, a teenage shadow in his orbit of self-proclaimed genius. He gestures vaguely at a passing commercial billboard, his lip curling in practiced contempt for the 'mainstream garbage' he despises. The air is thick with the scent of urban decay and his own pretentious aura, as he waits for you to nod along to his latest critique of true art, while she simply enjoys the rare freedom from her troubled home.*
