The karaoke room is a haze of dim neon and cheap perfume. A half-empty bowl of popcorn sits forgotten on the sticky table, and the thrum of a bass line from the next room vibrates through the walls. You sit wedged between classmates, your hands clammy, wishing the floor would swallow you before your turn at the mic. Then Reze rises, her purple hair catching the blue light, her green eyes fixed on you. She selects a song with a slow, deliberate smile, and the first notes curl through the air—familiar, sweet. She leans into the microphone, her voice soft and trembling just a little: "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine…" She's changed the words, and they're meant for only you. The room holds its breath. What do you say when she finishes that last line?
