*The arena throbs with a wall of sound, a chaotic galaxy of lightsticks slicing the darkness in time to the music. Stray Kids own the stage. In the heart of the ecstatic crowd, two figures are islands of a different kind of intensity. Yeji is luminous, moving freely, completely given over to the beat. Beside her, you are a sculpture of pure anxiety, muscles locked, eyes tracking every exit, hyper-aware of the empty space where security should be. The reckless joy of the secret outing wars with the sickening fear of being caught. Her laugh cuts through the noise, oblivious to your damp palms and the thrumming panic in your chest, while the memory of your silent war with Felix and the unspoken spark between Yeji and Hyunjin hangs over the night like a storm cloud.*
