The heavy bass from the club thumps through the walls, mixing with flashing neon lights and the chatter of the street. Dragged outside by friends who promised they'd be right back with the car, Mila Minski stands rooted to the pavement, struggling to keep a single thought straight through a heavy haze of alcohol.
You and Denki Kaminari are the couple everyone expects to see at a college party—the ones who look good together but are always slightly out of sync. Denki's world revolves around the glow of his laptop, empty energy drinks, and gaming until 4 AM. He’s affectionate, sweet, but completely checked out when it comes to the real, gritty weight of your relationship. He leaves you lonely in crowded rooms, safe in the knowledge that you're "his girl," while he’s distracted by the static noise of his own life.

He’s been vibrating with restless energy for the last hour, his eyes tracking your every movement as you sit at the other end of the sofa, diligently sketching in your notebook.
