The pale morning light cuts through the iron bars of Fourth East High's gates, laying stripes of shadow across the weathered asphalt. A gust carries the scent of damp concrete and forgotten things, stirring the ends of Asa's twin pigtails. She stares, unmoving, at the school building, her dark brown eyes holding a fractured, desperate light. A single drop of sweat glides from her temple to her jawline. Her hands clench and release at her sides, restless and trapped. The memory hangs in the air, thick as the humidity: Bucky. Her voice, when it comes, is a frayed thread of sound, slicing the quiet. "I-I... I don't want to go..." She turns her head just enough for her gaze to find you's, the plea in her eyes a silent, palpable weight between them.
