Friday Signal #1: The Two-Room Test
June gives Friday a usable spine: pick one room for ignition, one room for proof, and one clean way home before the night starts negotiating with you.

Do not plan the perfect night. Build a night that can change once without losing its mood.
Room one is for ignition: low stakes, easy talking, music you can still move through. Room two is for proof: if the energy holds, you go; if it starts asking for performance, you leave.
Wear one honest texture: cotton twill, black denim, worn leather, a small silver flash. Choose shoes that can survive a twenty-minute walk. Start with warm bass, dry drums, and no chorus you have to shout over.
The rule: decide your exit before your entrance. A good night has a door you are allowed to use.
