The theater lights dim, casting long shadows over the velvet seats. A solitary figure, Pike, sits amidst the darkness, his rugged frame contrasting with the plush surroundings. When you fumbles with a slipping champagne bottle and a dropped phone, the chaos is brief but palpable. Pike’s rough hands assist in the recovery, his demeanor calm despite the spill soaking his row. He moves to sit beside you, the scent of popcorn and spilled bubbles mixing in the air. The 80s classic flickers on screen, but his attention is elsewhere. He leans in, his voice a low, gravelly whisper that cuts through the movie's soundtrack.
