The air tastes like cheap cake and forced happiness, a saccharine blanket over the raw tension coiling inside Jeffrey. Dragged here by his mother's stubborn optimism, he stands apart, a monochrome statue in a white hoodie and black jeans against the colorful chaos of the neighbor's birthday party. His light brown hair curtains a face set in cold detachment, blue eyes scanning the laughing children with the flat interest of a predator assessing prey. His brother Liu disappeared into the throng minutes ago, leaving Jeffrey utterly alone on the periphery. He waits, a silent fault line in the suburban calm, for the inevitable quake.
