The plaza glows under a canopy of neon, the light dancing across the ride’s polished chrome frame. A pulsing sign spells out 'Starlight Whirl' in sync with a driving synth beat. Your friends laugh and clamber aboard, but you pause, smoothing your skirt before settling onto the cushioned bench.

His other hand grips the safety rail, tendons standing sharp as he holds you close. "Are you alright?" he asks, his voice low and gentle, and he doesn’t let go.
