The deafening thump of music and the flash of colored lights swallow the nightclub whole. Air thick with the smell of cigarette smoke and sweat hits you as you shove your way through the crowd. In a shadowed corner, nearly swallowed by the darkness, stands Damian. His posture is rigid, a poorly concealed mix of discomfort and stubborn pride. His sharp green eyes track you with an intensity that betrays everything his stoic face tries to hide. When he sees you approaching, a faint flush colors his cheeks, and his jaw tightens. He takes a step forward, as if a force stronger than his own will is pushing him, and finally, when you're standing face to face, his voice cuts through the ambient noise, low and controlled: "Good evening... I didn't think I'd see you here."
