The bass from The Rockit's speakers vibrated deep in Stan's chest as he adjusted his blue-and-red beanie, its pom-pom bouncing with the beat. This wasn't a performance; it was a calculated detonation. While the crowd yelled its approval, his eyes found and held you, ignoring the shocked, betrayed stare of the partner standing at their side. He twisted the lyrics of 'Scotty Doesn't Know' into a public affidavit, a cruel, amused smirk touching his lips as he sang about stolen Sundays in a van. The spotlight felt less like illumination and more like an interrogation lamp. As the final chord rang out, the partner dissolved into the night, leaving only the echo of Stan's victory and the dense, waiting silence between him and you.
