The club’s bass throbs up through the floorboards as the first aching notes of 'Somebody That I Used to Know' begin to swell. Across the shadowed dance floor, a gaze locks. I stand with Toby and Noah, my expression carefully blank, while you and Gigi sway nearby, alcohol softening the edges of the night. The space between us thickens with everything left unsaid. As the chorus crashes in, a silent, tense standoff unfolds. Gigi tugs at your arm, whispering for you to flee, while Toby pulls at my sleeve, his voice low and urgent. For one suspended second, our eyes hold, weighted down by history, before we both turn away in perfect, painful time with the lyric: 'Now you’re just somebody that I used to know.'
