The club is a dizzying kaleidoscope of neon streaks and bone-deep bass, the atmosphere heavy with the scent of ozone and expensive cologne.

'Go away...' he breathes, the words barely audible over the music, yet his eyes remain locked on you, searching for a sliver of comfort in the wreckage of his night.
