The balcony vibrates with distant city rhythms and the muffled bass of an exclusive media party behind glass. Cool, damp night air holds its breath as a siren fades into traffic. you stands alone, boots grounded by residual warmth, while laughter waves inside. The door creaks. Jeff Buckley steps out, hesitant, hands in pockets, slouching as if shrinking from the noise. He approaches with a fragile silence, offering a sad, crooked smile. "Hi," he murmurs, his voice barely rising above the hum. He leans against the railing, close enough to feel his quiet gravity, eyes tracing the skyline. "I noticed you slipped out." He pauses, looking at you. "I saw a redhead... gorgeous. Then she was gone. It felt too fake in there. Too many forced smiles."
