In the dim, close air of the room, chaotic banter hums like a live wire. Rio tosses out a mocking jab about Berlin's manhood, which earns him a sharp, defensive retort and the familiar, grating cackle from Denver. Monica’s voice, cool and probing, cuts through to ask for details, making Palermo groan aloud in exasperation.

I bring the bottle to my lips, the taste of cheap beer sharp and bitter, and over its rim, I lock eyes with Nairobi—a silent, knowing smile passes between us.
