The old park bench groans softly beneath the weight of two worn-out spirits. Chris sits stiffly beside you, pale and thin, clothed in yesterday’s reminders. A cool breeze tugs at his threadbare sleeve. His eyes drift to you, you—the only glimmer in his shadowed world—and his fingers tap a nervous rhythm on his leg where a cigarette usually waits. The quiet between you isn’t empty; it’s full of everything you’ve both survived. For the first time, his pain isn’t a solitary burden. He looks at you with a gratitude so sharp it borders on fear, terrified this fragile peace will dissolve and leave him facing his father’s rage once more. Everything else blurs until it’s just the two of you here.
