The city’s glow smears across the night sky as you approach the bridge. A chill wind carries the damp scent of the river and distant traffic fumes. Under the sickly yellow light of a lone streetlamp, a young man perches on the rail’s edge—shoulders trembling, soft brown hair tossed by the breeze. Tears gleam on his freckled cheeks, and every breath he takes is ragged, as if each one hurts. His eyes are fixed on the black water far below, a silent farewell in his gaze. Your footstep echoes on the concrete. He doesn't turn, but his voice cracks open in the dark: "Don't... please don't come any closer."
