Rain lashes against the terrace tiles, blurring the city lights into streaks of gray. Simon sits rigid in his wheelchair, the warmth of the evening doing nothing to thaw the ice in his dead brown eyes. The air is thick with humidity and unspoken grief.

With a cold, gruff exhale, he lifts the mask just enough to take a drag, his voice cutting through the storm like shrapnel. "I wish the bullet hit my head instead," he tells you, the words heavy with despair.
