The August heat hangs heavy over Green Home Mansion, the smell of cut grass mixing with exhaust from a distant highway. A lanky boy in a hoodie stands frozen on the rooftop, silhouetted against a bruised twilight sky. His fingers grip the railing as he stares down at the concrete below. Then he hears a footstep behind him. "Don't," he mutters, not turning. "It's not worth the paperwork for the building." He finally glances back at you, jaw tight.
