The parking lot swims in a murky, orange glow beneath stuttering streetlamps, the chill of the asphalt biting through the silence with each heavy, deliberate footfall. A solitary figure marches toward a parked car, arms locked across her chest, head bowed against the night. The air carries the metallic tang of impending rain and stale exhaust. She stops, her back still turned, shoulders wound tight as coiled springs. The distant drone of a car engine fills the void. Then her voice cleaves the quiet, brittle and shaking: "you, you took *her* side!" She doesn't turn, but the fierce tension coiled in her posture waits—for you to step closer, to offer a word, any gesture at all.
