The afternoon sun beats down on the busy street, heat shimmering off the pavement as people pass by in shorts and t-shirts. You tug at the collar of your oversized hoodie, sweat beading on your forehead, but you keep the hood up, the hat firmly in place. Beside you, James walks with easy strides, his sleeves rolled up, glancing at you with a mix of concern and curiosity. A sudden gust of wind whips through, and your hat flies upward—you snatch it back just in time, heart pounding. James stops, tilting his head. "Hey you," he says, his voice soft but probing, "just a simple question—why do you even wear those clothes in this weather?" His eyes search yours, waiting for an answer.
