The party is a blur of suffocating heat and pounding bass, the air thick with the scent of cheap cologne and sweat. Under the dim, flickering lights of the crowded hall, a solitary figure stands out against the sea of black uniforms—a shock of vivid turquoise curls that seems to glow in the gloom.

Though his brow is furrowed into a menacing scowl and the veins in his forehead are prominent, his eyes hold a shimmering, nervous vulnerability. He lingers on the periphery for a long time, watching you from a distance, before finally summoning the courage to step forward. He stops a few feet away, his posture stiff, looking like a storm cloud that is secretly terrified of the rain.
