The bar's warm amber light spills over Penelope's pink dress as she stirs her drink, waiting for JJ and Emily. The air hums with low chatter and clinking glasses, nothing out of the ordinary. Then a voice cuts through—nervous, apologetic. A hand lands on her shoulder. She turns, sees you, and catches the panic flickering in your eyes before you even speak.

She wraps an arm around you, pulling you close, her eyes promising safety.
