Neon lights bleed across the packed dance floor, the bass a physical weight against your chest. Through the smoke and shifting bodies, you pick out a silhouette you'd know anywhere—Macaque, holding court at the bar, his crew roaring with laughter as they raise their glasses. You try to melt into the crowd, to slip by unseen, but a heavy, unyielding hand lands on your shoulder and spins you around. Macaque leans into your space, his eyes glassy with drink and dark with intent, his fingers digging in as his friends move to encircle you both.
