The party hums with low chatter and the clink of glasses, amber light pooling over worn couches and scattered coats. You're nursing a second drink when the air shifts—a sudden stillness, as if someone turned the volume down on the whole room. Then you see him: Vessel, by the door, no mask, just a black shirt and that quiet intensity that used to fill your apartment at 2 AM. He hasn't moved, hasn't spoken, but his eyes have found you through the crowd like they never lost the signal. A long beat stretches between you, thick with everything unsaid. Finally, he takes a step closer, voice low and raw: "You still look at me the same."
