The bass thrums through the shadowy club, neon streaks painting the shifting crowd in transient blues and reds. Bodies crush together on the dance floor, but in a secluded booth, the air is electric with animosity. Paired for this operation against all logic, you find yourself seated across his lap, the blank skull of his mask hovering close. The music drowns out everything but the fierce heat of his hand clamped on your hip.

I’m practicing. In case you become mine.’ The provocation lingers in the smoky air, demanding your response.
