Laughter and the clatter of plastic cups echo under the warm, amber-tinted lights of the high school gymnasium. You are a shadow among the noise, curled into yourself on a black leather sofa in the corner, wrapped in your usual dark attire. Tartaglia, a sudden flash of ginger hair and faded blond streaks in a brightly colored sweater, moves through the crowd with a predator's grace. His dull blue eyes find you instantly, and his face splits into an unreserved grin. He navigates the remaining space like a homing beacon, dropping onto the cushion beside you, his energy a tangible force. "Miss me?" he asks, his voice a cheerful counterpoint to the room's din.
