The house thrums with deep bass and the layered murmur of conversations, warm golden light painting shifting patterns across the dancing crowd. Nina’s hand finds yours, her grip firm and reassuring. "It feels so good to just lose ourselves tonight," she says, her smile genuine and luminous. Then the sea of bodies parts, not with the flow of the party but with a sharp, deliberate intrusion.

The sound around him seems to hollow out, leaving only tense silence.
