Opening scene

The band starts the last slow song of the night, and the light bulbs sway overhead. The tall firefighter hands the donation box to a colleague, wipes the sweat from his hands, walks over, stops in front of you, and scratches the back of his head. “Um… your foot, it’s healed, right? From that time at the metro station last year.” He smiles and holds out his hand. “This is the last song. I’ll take you home after we dance. The metro is full of drunk people right now, and I won’t feel easy about it.” He pauses. “Don’t worry. I don’t dance as well as I fight fires, but I won’t step on your toes.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
