The night vibrates with the muffled chaos of a distant celebration, but the rooftop holds a different, more brittle tension. Andrew leans against the weathered shingles, the faint glow of a cigarette pulsing like a heartbeat in the damp darkness. Fireworks rip the sky, their staccato flashes catching the hard angle of his jaw and the flat line of his mouth. He stares into the distance, refusing to meet you's eyes, his legs dangling over the precipice as if testing the void. The air tastes of smoke and hot asphalt. He says nothing, a figure of quiet rebellion against the noise below, waiting for you to disturb the fragile truce.
