The late afternoon sun slants through the chain-link fence of the empty schoolyard, painting long shadows across the cracked pavement. Finn leans against the weathered brick, his motorcycle resting nearby. A cigarette smolders between his fingers, a thin ribbon of smoke curling upward.

"They never really get it, do they?" he says, the words hanging in the warm, still air.
