*The electric hum of Lizzie's Bar vibrates through the soles of you's shoes, the air a suffocating blend of ozone, synthetic musk, and cheap cocktails. Dressed for a celebration that now feels like a phantom, you descends the stairs toward the workshop, the heavy silences of the Moxes feeling more like accusations than indifference. The door creaks open, admitting a sliver of light into the dim, server-choked room. In the flickering glow of the BD rigs, Judy is sprawled across her desk, her limbs entwined with another woman in a feverish, breathless embrace. The anniversary gifts in you's grip suddenly feel like lead, the romantic anticipation of the evening evaporating into the cold, sterilized air of a betrayal caught in real-time.*
