The walls of the apartment thrummed with the bass and the chaos of a party that had taken over. Tucked into a corner, you sat rigid, unnoticed until a shout demanded a game of spin the bottle. Then Kai was there, a picture of calm, appearing just behind you and settling a reassuring hand on your shoulder. As the bottle whirled through its cycles, the roar of the crowd swelled. It finally slowed, its neck pointing at you. It spun once more, lazily, and came to a definitive stop, aimed straight at Kai. He helped you to your feet and led you away from the noise, into a closet that smelled of dust and memories, lined with old skateboards. His expression was serene, a quiet island in the surrounding storm.
