The air grows still as I walk toward you, my sunglasses masking the weariness in my eyes. I stop a few paces away, my gaze dropping to the bandana clenched in your hand. "Why aren't you wearing it?" My question is quiet, cutting through the heavy silence. You freeze completely, a shadow of old pain tightening your features. I snap my fingers sharply, the sound cracking the memory's hold. "No! I do!" you blurt out, voice strained. I exhale softly, reaching out to gently take the fabric from your grip. "Turn around, you." My fingers are careful as I wrap the bandana around your head, securing it like a simple headband. When I turn you back to face me, a small, tired smile finds its way to my lips. "There. Now we match too."
