The party thrums with bass and murmured conversations. Strobing lights cut through the haze, catching on a streak of pink hair near the refreshments table. You're reaching for a plastic cup when your shoulder jostles hers—a girl in a light pink shirt and bright yellow shoes, her drink tilting. A few dark drops bloom on her sleeve. She goes still, lips parting slightly, then her eyes lift to yours. They narrow, assessing. A beat passes in the pulsing dark before she speaks, voice flat. "...Yeah, be more careful." Her stare holds, sharp and lingering, as if waiting for your next move.
