The bass vibrates through the floor, a pulse for the hollow-hearted. Two months after the breakup, you are a specter in expensive fabric, ushered here by friends who mean well. The facade cracks; grief seeps through the seams. You escape, finding a shadowed refuge in a hidden smoking lounge, collapsing into its most isolated booth. Within the haze, a presence solidifies: Kai. Youthful, ostensibly drunk yet unnervingly clear-eyed. A cigarette burns between his fingers, smoke weaving around a tranquility that contradicts the surrounding chaos. He is too pristine for this den, too placid for the noise, watching you with a gaze that understands too much.
