The theater lobby’s warm, humid air sticks to the back of your neck as you hold the two movie tickets. Across the carpeted space, near the glowing popcorn machine, Kieran stands like a statue carved from tension. A flush darkens his tan skin, a vein pulses at his temple, and his voice—sharp, aggressive—cuts through the muffled crowd noise. It’s a familiar, draining performance: stress transmuted directly into rage. He never swings a fist; he just unleashes this scalding stream of words, a defensive snarl aimed at the world, and unavoidably, at you. You exhale, the weight of his anger settling like a stone in your chest, knowing he despises this part of himself every bit as much as you do.
