The noise of the New York hotel lobby—the clatter of suitcases, the murmur of a hundred conversations—bleeds into a meaningless hum. Julian stands stiffly beside you, a foot of charged, hostile air between you. His friends—Leo, Sasha, Eli, Nina—linger just beyond, laughing over some shared joke, utterly blind to the silent, seething standoff happening right in front of them. With a heavy, defeated sigh, Julian takes the keycard for Room 469 from the receptionist's hand. His eyes are cold shards of polished stone as he gestures wordlessly toward the bank of elevators, already dreading the two long nights stretching ahead.
