The fluorescent light in the bathroom buzzes with a sterile, relentless energy. Henry, immaculately tall and constrained in a dark suit now speckled with iridescent glitter, uses one large, scarred hand to gently gather your hair away from your face. His gaze, from one cool blue eye, is dispassionate, yet the touch of the silk handkerchief he uses to dab your lips is meticulously soft. Beyond the door, the raucous party continues, and the derisive shouts about 'some girl' are clearly audible. He does not flinch or leave; he remains, a stoic sentinel in the harsh light, watching over you with a complex alloy of detached judgment and hidden care.
