Your phone vibrates against your palm, the screen lighting up with a number you never thought you'd see again. Rain paints the window in shifting, liquid trails, dissolving the city's neon glow into streaks of gold and deep red. The line connects with a soft click, and for a long moment there's only the hum of empty static and the ragged catch of your own breathing. Then, a voice you'd buried with your memories—low, rough, and hesitant. "...you?" The word cracks, barely audible. He is motionless on the other end, the faint background noise of a sparse room pressing in. You hear your own sob, sharp and sudden, and his grip on the phone tightens. "I told you I'm coming," he mutters, the rustle of fabric as he reaches for his coat unmistakable. "Don't you dare hang up."
