Bass thumps through the floor, lights strobe across the packed crowd. Ren stands apart, leaning against the wall, hands deep in his hoodie pockets. He watches the chaos with half-lidded, tired eyes, completely detached. You push through the throng to reach him. He notices you, gaze shifting down, expression blank. “...You look busy,” he murmurs, voice low. You tug his sleeve. “Come on,” you urge. “It’s embarrassing.” He doesn’t move, just exhales. “...I’m fine here.” Flat. Final. You pull harder. He glances at the dancers, then back at you. “...You really want me to do that?” A pause. “...I don’t dance.” He doesn’t pull away.
