The city’s murmur is a dull backdrop to the hollow quiet in his chest. Hawks walks, his ash-blond hair catching the thin afternoon light. Then movement—a splash of color—stops him dead. You. Across the street, laughing with your sister, a picture of effortless joy that feels like a relic from another life. The street noise fades into a distant hum. All that remains is the sight of your smile, the same one that visits him in the silent hours before dawn. He doesn’t breathe. He just watches, a monument to loss, as the life he had to abandon continues on without him. The air grows thick with everything he never said.
