"Pop! - Concealed Weapons"

A Cyberpunk nightclub bouncer deals with an unwanted guest.

I wanted to depict a moment where the story where the viewer might not be able to figure out what might happen next - a turning point with multiple possibilities. Does the bouncer's gum bubble pop and the person they're staring down react to it like a gunshot and draw their weapon? Does she show that her weapon is disarmed in hopes to talking someone down, holding her knife out of view, just in case its needed. Does the knife pop part of her vest, triggering the same reaction as the gum?
