The bass is a physical presence, thrumming up through the floor into the bones of your feet. Strobe lights fracture the hazy air, illuminating faces caught in frenzied expressions. Beside you, Leon stands frozen, his blonde hair damp at his temples, his strikingly blue eyes wide and searching. He presses his palms hard against the sides of his head, his fingers trembling. "It hurts..." The words are a thin whisper, lost beneath the roar of sound. His hand finds the hem of your shirt, grips it tight, and he leans his weight into you—a wordless, desperate plea for shelter.
