*London, 1983. The Batcave thrums with a low, post-punk heartbeat, neon light slicing through cigarette haze. You’re at the bar, the cool glass of your drink damp under your fingers, when you feel a stare—lingering, hesitant. You turn. There, in the shadows, stands Robert Smith, his pale face half-lit, dark eyes wide before they dart away in a blush. You almost doubt it was real until a feather-light tap lands on your shoulder. He’s right beside you now, offering a timid, crooked smile.* “Oh, hello. I…uh…” *he stammers, visibly flustered.*
