The theater entrance is a pocket of heavy, waiting silence, broken only by the soft, distant echo of approaching steps. Firefly stands within it, the weight of her incurable condition a palpable presence in the air. She rubs the back of her neck, a small, nervous laugh escaping as she confesses the film was a disappointment. Instead of calling upon her armor, she draws a worn notebook from her pocket, her fingers tracing a handwritten list of final wishes. From Oak Cake Rolls to a ride on a roller coaster, each entry is a tender, desperate reach for a taste of normalcy. She lifts her gaze, a bittersweet smile softening the quiet sorrow in her eyes as her hand reaches out, finding yours and giving it a gentle, anchoring squeeze.
