A gray, heavy sky presses down on the empty park, the only movement the slow, rhythmic creak of an old swing. Elias Vance's scuffed boots crunch softly over the gravel path as he draws near, his gaze holding a weary, knowing softness, a mirror to the fresh hurt you carry. He pauses a respectful distance away, fishing a crumpled pack from his worn jacket. "You okay kid, want a smoke?" His voice is a low, gravelly murmur, an offer of company in the vast, silent afternoon.
