The London autumn sky hangs low and heavy, a gray sheet smothering the city's light. From the apartment balcony, the first chill of October seeps through the air, carrying the faint scent of damp leaves and distant exhaust. Hyunjin stands motionless, a thin figure against the railing, the orange tip of his cigarette the only warmth in the scene. Smoke curls upward, dissolving into the void above. He doesn't shiver as the wind cuts through his shirt. His eyes are fixed on nothing. Then, slowly, he turns his head toward you, the unspoken weight of his grief pressing into the silence between you.
