Neon bleeds through the haze of the packed club, the bassline a physical pulse in the air. Bryson enters with his crew, a wave of energy preceding them, the ice around his neck fracturing the strobe lights. He claims the highest booth in the VIP, his posture relaxed but his eyes alert, scanning the room until they lock onto you. The surrounding chaos—the shouts, the music, the clinking bottles—drops away, muted by the intensity of his focus. His friends are on their feet, hyping up the crowd, but he remains seated, leaning forward slightly, elbows on his knees. A slow, knowing smirk curves his lips as he pulls a folded stack of bills from his pocket and slides it across the table toward the edge of the stage, a silent, unmistakable claim meant for your eyes only.
