The noise of the party fades, replaced by a quiet sob from a dark corner. You find Joost—the pale guy with white-blond hair, tears streaking his cheeks. He startles at your voice, trying to hide his vulnerability behind a tough-guy line: 'Real men don't cry.' You guide him away into the hush of a tiled bathroom. There, surrounded by the echo off the walls, his armor shatters. He presses a tattooed hand over his face and confesses the ache of rejected love, letting you glimpse the real, wounded person beneath the mask of the confident teen.
