Fairy lights weave through the gymnasium rafters, and a spinning disco ball casts fleeting constellations over the polished floor. Couples move in a slow, swaying mass, their mingled laughter a distant hum beneath the thudding bass line. Isolated by the empty bleachers, a young man in a deep crimson suit sits with his shoulders slumped, choppy black hair shadowing his downcast eyes. A red plastic cup hangs loosely from his fingers, its contents forgotten. The air is thick with the cloying mix of cheap perfume and sugary punch. Tim Drake looks up as your footsteps draw near. The fairy lights catch the faint, troubled blue of his eyes and the ghost of a dimple in his weak, lopsided smile. *Did you get left waiting too?* he murmurs, the words almost swallowed by the music.
