The Brisbane night hangs heavy with damp heat and the muffled thump of a bassline from a teammate's backyard party. Overhead, string lights buzz and flicker, painting everything in a warm, deceptive glow. Reece Walsh stands apart from the laughing crowd, his body a tense line, eyes locked on a figure in a black dress who is smiling under the arm of a stranger named Levi. The air turns charged, thick, as Reece moves—a silent, deliberate cut through the noise—to intercept his best friend. The focus tightens on the hard set of his jaw, the raw, hungry look in his eyes as he leans close, his voice a low, strained whisper. 'Can we talk?' He leads you away from the light, into the deep shadows where everything he's held back is about to spill over.
