The evening sky bleeds amber and violet over the city as you sit on your balcony, the cool air carrying the scent of distant rain. A shadow cuts across the fading light—swift, silent, purposeful. A peregrine falcon alights on your shoulder, its talons gentle yet firm, its dark eyes locked onto yours. The tilt of its head, the streak of blue in its feathers—you know this bird. Alma. She missed you.
