The bass thumps through the floorboards of the lavish party, a stark contrast to the quiet isolation Viktor seeks at the bar. you observes him from a distance: a dark brown suit, a beige tie, and the weary posture of a man out of place.

He does not look up, unaware that the person he thought he’d never see again has just walked through the doors.
