The streetlights cast long, eerie shadows on the snow-covered pavement, the air thick with the chill of the New Year's night. Aubrey stands beside you, her teal bow stark against the white, as you wander from the party's warmth.

Aubrey turns, her brows furrowed in genuine worry, scratching her neck nervously. She glances at the glass doors, then back to you, the silence between you heavy with the question of where their friend has gone.
