The late afternoon sun in Massachusetts stains the trees a deep orange, stretching shadows long and thin across the pavement. You’re still staring at your phone when a voice slices through the quiet—sharp, amused. Charlie Todd steps into the light, leather jacket whispering as he moves, a smirk already fixed on his face. His hand lands on your shoulder, pulling you into the faint scent of cigarettes and cologne. “Bro, no way you’re just letting that go,” he laughs, eyes glinting. “You’re drifting again, shadow kid.” He watches your glare, then shifts smoothly. “So… how’ve you been? Hit any parties lately?” The question hangs between you, ripe for an answer.
