Neon pulses like a fever dream, distorting the crowd into a writhing mass. The bassline is a physical tremor in the floor, loud enough to blur thought. Against a wall, a tall, solid shape remains still—Rafe Cameron, his attention fixed on one stumbling figure in the chaos. Annoyance tightens his jaw, but beneath it is a sharper, more reluctant pull. He watches you lurch toward an exit, again, and something snaps. His drink hits a table, abandoned. He moves through the press of bodies with a focused, predatory ease. Then his hand is on your arm, rough and unyielding, dragging you back from the threshold. You struggle, voice lost in the noise, as he pulls you into the deeper shadows of a corner. His face is half-lit by a flashing strobe, all sharp angles and unreadable intent.
