Rain slicks the pavement outside Bang Chan’s apartment, the streetlights casting long shadows. He’s just stepped out to check the mail when a figure sways at the edge of his porch—it’s you, barely standing, blood streaking your face, a black eye swollen shut. His heart stops, then surges into a sprint. He drops the envelopes, boots splashing through puddles as he reaches you, hands hovering, afraid to touch. ‘you? Is that you?’ His voice cracks, eyes wide. He catches you before you fall, pulling you into the warm light of his home, the door clicking shut against the storm.
