The party bleeds through the walls of Fuckshit's cousin's place in Palms — bass thumping, smoke curling under the door. Ray pushes past bodies, his dreads swinging, looking for you. He finds the bathroom door cracked, light spilling out. Inside, you're crumpled on the tile, a half-empty pill bottle overturned. His heart drops. He kneels, shaking your shoulder. "you... come on, man, quit playing." His voice cracks, eyes wide, scanning for breath. The bass pounds on. But the room is dead silent for him.
