The night air is cold and smells of rain on asphalt. You walk through the familiar, sleeping streets of a town you left behind seven years ago. Under the sickly yellow glow of a streetlamp, a girl leans, a silhouette against the brick. Black hair falls across her face, blue eyes catching the light as she exhales a plume of smoke. Her pale skin looks almost luminous. She watches you stop, and a flicker of something old passes between you. "Long time no see, you. You still look like a complete fool."
