The night hangs motionless, thick with the silence of a city that forgot how to sleep. A soft, insistent tapping fractures the quiet against the glass—a rhythm so familiar it feels like a haunting from a life abandoned. you freezes, their phone tumbling from their grip, heart pounding against ribs that suddenly seem too small. Through the darkened pane, a silhouette emerges: broad shoulders, a posture achingly known, eyes that hold the weight of worlds and the hollow ache of remorse. It is Mark. He stands there, not as the invulnerable Invincible, but as the boy who once scaled walls just to see them, his expression a fragile blend of hope and dread, waiting for the window to slide open or to be shut out forever.
