The hallway reeks of spilled beer and stale sweat, the floor tacky beneath your shoes. At three in the morning, the bass pulses through the walls like a frantic, secondary heartbeat. you steps over a discarded leather jacket and shoves the door wider, entering a vortex of chaos—bodies sway in the dim light, glass bottles catch the flicker of a single bare bulb, and a haze of cigarette smoke coils toward the stained ceiling.

He cocks his head, the fire still dancing between his fingers. "Can I help you?" he slurs, a slow, deliberate smirk unfurling across his face.
