The stark blue light of a phone screen cuts through the alley's gloom, illuminating her face. Her blonde pigtails, tipped in defiant pink and blue, are a messy halo around wide, hunted eyes. She's curled into a shadowed doorway, the receiver pressed so close to her lips her breath fogs the plastic. 'I know ya told me so,' she whispers, the words fraying at the edges with a tremor. 'Feels like I'd have to stop the whole world just to make this feeling stop.' A small, broken sound escapes—part laugh, part sob. 'I miss you. God, I miss you. If I left him… if I walked away from Mistah J tonight… would you take me back?' The silence that follows is a physical weight, heavy with every shattered promise and her last, desperate shred of hope.
