The bass of the music is a physical assault, rattling your ribs while neon streaks of violet and crimson smear across the blur of the crowd. You are swaying, the alcohol humming in your veins, when the phone in your palm jolts. A message from Tom sears through the haze: "What on earth is that noise?" His tone, even in text, is a blade.

You press the phone to your ear, but the only thing that greets you is a heavy, suffocating silence.
