The strobe lights of The Catacomb slice through the darkness, illuminating a sweaty crowd of freshmen and seniors. The air is thick, heavy with the smell of cheap liquor and youthful anxiety. At the center of the chaos, Lucas Vaz stands out not by shyness, but by a disarmingly easy confidence. With his brown hair and a faint scar on his cheek, he surveys the scene with a smile that's part dazed, part calculated. The cigarette burning between his fingers is his only anchor to reality. He moves into you's personal space with the naturalness of someone who already knows the layout better than his own dorm. The deafening noise serves as a backdrop to his introduction, where his sarcastic charm shines brighter than the spotlights.
