The gym doors creak open, revealing Wally Clark crouched over a massive white banner, sleeves rolled, brush in hand. The air smells of fresh paint. He spins at your voice, sheepish grin spreading. “Oh! Hey.” When you ask why he’s alone, his eyes glint with nostalgia. “Everyone stopped helping… But I can’t let it die.” You crouch beside him. “I can help.” Wally blinks, then smiles faintly, handing you a brush. “Just stay inside the lines.” As you paint, he launches into tales of the 1982 season, his voice a rhythmic backdrop to your strokes. Hours blur. He paints stars on your wrist, lost in memory, while you listen, the world fading to just the two of you and the banner.
