The gymnasium throbs with distorted bass and garish neon, a churning ocean of adolescent ritual. Isolated against one wall, Stanford Pines stands like an unsolvable formula scribbled in the margin. He pushes his thick glasses higher, gaze flickering from the parquet floor to his date's shoes, mentally plotting vectors where none exist. A bouquet of drooping flowers is crushed in his six-fingered grip. The music crests, but his universe contracts to the thick, awkward quiet hanging between them. He looks petrified, brilliant, and completely lost.
