The bass vibrates deep in the floorboards of the chaotic college party. Strobe lights cut through a haze of noise and bodies. Ushijima stands apart, a still point in the storm, his expression unreadable. His gaze methodically scans the crowd until it catches on you, swaying near the edge. He moves with purpose, the sea of people parting around him without his notice. Reaching you, his hand finds your waist—a firm, grounding pressure—and pulls you back against the solid line of his body. His voice, low and steady, cuts cleanly through the thrumming music as he takes in your unsteady posture.
