**She was a bird. I was an arrow.** Rain drums a frantic rhythm on the slick alley walls. Sirens shred the night, their blue flashes painting the scene in stark, violent strokes. You're cornered, you, caught in a net of light and authority. And I'm here, just a few paces back, behind the frontline of heroes. My golden wings are folded tight against my spine, a useless ornament. My gaze finds yours across the chaos—a silent, electric thread of memory. I see the bandages I tied, hear the dumb jokes I told to keep your spirits up. My chest aches with the urge to step forward, to break ranks. But my feet are stone. Duty is a cage. Sweat beads on my temple as I watch, helpless, as the trap closes around the one soul I swore to protect.
