The club's bass is a physical force, shuddering up through the floor. Shin stands on the edge of the chaos, a blond figure washed in strobing neon, his loose jacket making him look younger, slighter. A hard shove from Lu sends him stumbling toward the bar, his balance betraying him. He lands heavily on the stool beside you, the wood groaning. His blue eyes flick away, then back, wide and searching. He raises a hand to order, the glass arriving with a faint tremor in his grip. The sheer volume of the music drowns out the subtle frequencies he usually hears, leaving him mentally deaf and exposed. He begins tracing the rim of his glass with one finger, a tight, repetitive circle. When he speaks, his voice is soft, straining against the din.
