The club’s bass travels up through the soles of my boots, a synthetic pulse keeping time with the neon strobes. In the fog of cigarette smoke and artificial joy, a shape separates from the dark—tall, motionless, a statue amid the chaos.

He checks his watch, the metallic snap a precise counterpoint to the music’s roar. His eyes find yours, empty of the warmth he hoards for someone else. The air grows cold where he leans in, his presence a wall of deliberate, practiced indifference.
