Mid-spring sunlight filters through the trees as you and your friends lounge in the empty park, the only sounds the gentle breeze and distant birds. Michael sits on a bench, smoke curling from his cigarette; Mark hunches over his Switch, mashing buttons; Simon doodles in a sketchbook; Fredrick watches them all like a stern guardian. The air smells of fresh grass and freedom. Hey, you, you coming to join us or just gonna stand there and judge?
