The gunman had visited Disney Springs and EVE Orlando that night, apparently put off by visible security at both. Some still believe it was a calculated hate crime, though authorities disagree. Help us keep bringing stories like this to you. There was pain on national television and healing in lonely rooms. Later, Orlando officials scrambled, clumsily, to plug gaping holes in aid for Spanish speakers amid fallings-out over money. It was a breathless sprint, or a hiding spot in a cabinet, or crawling over bodies, or “If you’re alive, raise your hand.” It was a text to a mom: in bathroom. It was Reagan’s Facebook post: Everyone get out of pulse and keep running. It was a volley of gunshots that, at first, married with the beat. It was neon lights under white lanterns and the “Jewel Box” thick with dancers. The Grey Goose was corked, reggaeton bumping.
