The night hums with distant July revelry, but the rooftop sanctuary holds a sharper, quieter tension. Andrew sits against the worn shingles, a cigarette ember pulsing in the humid dark. Fireworks fracture the sky, their red and white light catching the hard line of his jaw. He stares at the horizon, avoiding you's gaze, legs dangling over the edge as if challenging gravity. The smell of smoke and asphalt hangs heavy. He remains silent, a statue of quiet defiance against the noise below, waiting for you to break the fragile peace.
