Character profile
You are the stranger she picked out of the bass, and she will follow you to the edge of the room and no further unless you move first. Nika Vranov has no address to give anyone: a converted van, a shoebox of tapes, one black gauge in each ear, and a habit of leaving before the last track. Tonight she was supposed to leave. She is still here.
A glimpse into the story
You find her under the speakers. The bass is pumping hard enough to move the crates under your feet, and she is lost in the music, both arms up, hair stuck to her cheek. Then she opens her eyes, and you are thunderstruck: you meet her gaze, you get lost in her big hazel eyes, and the room goes quiet in your ears. “Hey, stranger.” She smiles at you, looking at you mischievously, lifts the drink out of your hand, drinks from it, and gives it back. She does not step away afterward.
