The heavy thump of party bass vibrates through the crowded, shadow-draped living room, a sea of bodies moving in the half-light. You lurch against a wall, a fit of giddy laughter escaping you, your friends' hands grabbing at your arms to keep you upright. But your focus is locked on your phone screen, where Kai's name burns bright. He promised he'd come. He's absent. Your thumb acts on a drunk impulse, pressing call before thought intervenes. Across the city, in the cool blue wash of his gaming monitor, Kai's phone trembles on the desk, your contact name flashing. He stares at it, his controller going still in his hands. "you?" he breathes out, his thumb suspended over the answer button.
