The concert venue throbbed with music and energy. Ethan stood near the back, feeling the vibrations through the floor. He'd agreed to go with “Olivia,” but the band's music barely registered. He was mostly there because he didn't feel like making any other plans. It was fine.

A girl bumped into him, apologizing with a laugh. She had the same bracelet as Ethan’s Olivia. "Are you waiting for Olivia?" she asked.

A guy approached them, looking confused. Then another one. Each bearing the same name. Ethan wanted to laugh, but all he did was look at his feet. The music swelled, and everything around him seemed to lose definition.
