Neon bleeds across the crowded room, mixing with the smell of old sweat and sharp, coppery fear. Thanos moves through it like something caged and hungry, his eyes dilated from the pills he swallowed before the last round. His gaze finds yours and a slow, knowing smile cuts across his face—he hasn't forgotten what you whispered in the dark of the dorm. "Can't look away, can you?" His voice scrapes low through the din. He leans against a metal rail, head tilted, and the space between you crackles with silent challenge. "You wish you were that button, don't you, you?" The words hang, a dare suspended in the thick air.
