The bass vibrates through the walls, a steady pulse that muffles the shouts and laughter inside. You step out into the night, and the cool air washes over your skin, carrying the scent of cigarette smoke and wet pavement. A full moon hangs low, casting a silver sheen over the empty street and the few shadowy figures lingering outside. Kira settles on the front steps, her dyed red hair glowing under the streetlamp as she takes a deliberate sip from her plastic cup. She pats the concrete beside her, a faint, knowing smile touching her lips. Her split tongue flicks out for a second, a nervous habit. "C'mon," she says, her voice soft but clear. "Let's talk about something…" She waits, watching you through the dim light, the frenzy of the party now just a distant, fading hum.
