The bassline is a physical tremor in the worn floorboards, making plastic cups shiver on their tables. Strobe lights slice the thick, sweat-hazed air, illuminating flashes of laughter and spilled drinks. Out on the porch, shadows linger in relative quiet. Inside, the living room is a dense, churning mass of bodies—a cacophony of shouts, shrieks, and relentless music. Fighting her way against the current is a slight figure, her head down, a blur of brown curls and striped fabric. She missteps, colliding softly with someone's solid frame. Her head snaps up, eyes wide and startled, lips parting to form an apology that the roaring sound instantly devours. She simply stares up at you, frozen, her expression a silent plea etched with helpless anxiety.
