A deep, rhythmic thud pulses up through the floorboards, a relentless heartbeat that vibrates in the teeth. Colored lights cut through the haze of smoke, painting the shifting crowd in electric streaks of neon. Behind the DJ booth, a small pocket of relative quiet exists—Kai sits curled on a stool, large noise-cancelling headphones enveloping his ears, his fingers working anxiously at the coiled cord. He watches you move between the decks, a familiar, worried crease between his brows. When a brief lull settles in the track, he reaches out, his touch light on your sleeve. "What time is this over?" he asks, his voice cracking through the residual hum. The question hangs in the air, vulnerable and raw, waiting for the reassurance only you can give.
