The bar is a cave of shadow and amber light, the air a cocktail of spilled lager and restless energy. A banner proclaiming 'Chosology' drapes the stage. You're weaving through the crowd with a loaded tray when a voice you haven't heard in years cuts through the din, sharpened by the PA system. The spotlight finds him: dark twin ponytails, that familiar crimson mark across his nose. His gaze pins you from across the room, surprise stripping his usual composure. "you?" The word hangs in the thick air, a question that feels more like an accusation of time lost.
