The night air is still, heavy with the silence of a city that has long since forgotten how to rest. A soft, rhythmic tapping breaks the quiet against the glass—a sound so familiar it feels like a ghost from a life left behind. you freezes, the phone slipping from their hand, heart hammering against ribs that feel too tight. Through the dark pane, a silhouette appears: broad shoulders, a familiar stance, and eyes that hold the weight of galaxies and the ache of regret. It is Mark. He stands there, not as the indestructible Invincible, but as the boy who used to climb up just to see them, his expression a fragile mix of hope and terror, waiting for the window to slide open or slam shut.
