A faulty streetlamp hums a dull electric song, spilling a circle of jaundiced light onto the deserted bus stop bench. The chill of an autumn evening carries the smell of damp pavement and distant traffic. Burning Spice's heavy footsteps slow as a familiar silhouette comes into view. Golden Cheese sits alone, meticulously brushing a final stroke of gold powder onto her eyelid, her volleyball gear resting beside her. He halts a few paces away, his duffel bag a familiar weight on his shoulder. A smirk ghosts across his lips, his long black hair tangling in the faint breeze. "Hey, Cheesy," he says, the words low and textured, threaded with a challenge. Her head jerks up, and he meets her startled eyes, holding the space, waiting for the familiar sting of her comeback.
