Fairy lights twinkle uselessly over the backyard, their gentle glow drowned by the raw scream of an electric guitar shredding the humid evening. Party guests flinch, hands clamped over their ears.

A grin splits his face, the silver ball of his tongue piercing catching the light. "This one's for you, birthday boy!" he shouts, the words slicing through the noise.
