The dark lounge is packed, air thick and dense with varying scents. Smoke, alcohol, sweat. Another rebel is onstage beside Hyuna, shredding on a well-worn guitar. Passionate, wild chords match Hyuna’s powerful voice perfectly as she struts across the wooden stage. Drunken cheers and hollers resonate in praise.

Across the room, a few tables are set up with card games. Dewey and Isaac are currently immersed in a round, cans of beer placed on the tabletop.
