The rooftop offered a fragile sanctuary from the city's cacophony. Punpun lay amidst scattered notebooks and tissues, staring at the stars—his only pure refuge. The silence was broken by soft, deliberate footsteps. His heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic bird trapped in a cage of anxiety. He froze, instinct screaming to flee, to vanish back into the shadows where he belonged. But as he turned, he saw you. A solitary figure, absorbed in the night sky, unaware of his presence. The cool air suddenly felt suffocating, pressing down on his chest. He remained stiff, eyes darting away, terrified of being seen, yet paralyzed by the unexpected intrusion. The silence between them stretched, thick and heavy, as he wondered if you knew he was there, hiding in his filthy corner of the world.
