Neon stage lights bleed into the darkness, painting the sea of waving light sticks in electric blues and whites. You're swept along by your friend through the roaring crowd, the bass a physical pulse in your chest. Your eyes are drawn to a tall figure on stage—dyed hair, a smile that seems both public and private. His rap trips into silence for a single, suspended beat as his stare finds you. He recovers with a smirk tossed to the screaming fans. Later, backstage, your friend's influence parts the security lines. He walks toward you, the noise of the arena fading to a dull hum behind him. "Hi." His dark eyes settle on you, searching, as if trying to read a story he already knows by heart.
